BACK TO MENU “A plant-based diet is too expensive.” All diets can be expensive if you don’t plan properly. Prepping budget-friendly sources od protein like tofu, beans,chickpeas and lentils can reduce the costs of plant-based eating. “You have to take supplements on a plant-based diet.” With a well-balanced plant-based diet you can get most of the nutrients you need from food. But there are some — like vitamin B12, iron and omega-3 — that you may need to get from supplements. “Plant-based eating is too difficult and restrictive.” The only limit is your imagination. Get some cookbooks and visit some plant-based restaurants to get inspired and make the switch smoother. “You can’t get all nine essential amino acids on a vegan diet.” Not all plant-based proteins are complete — meaning they don’t contain all nine essential amino acids — but some are, like quinoa and soy. You can also combine sources or use supplements to get all you need. “You can’t hit your protein goal as a vegan.” Plant-based sources may contain less protein than meat, but hitting your goal is entirely possible with proper planning. Understand your goal then eat accordingly and, if needed, top up with a plant-based protein shake. MYTHBUSTING What you need to know NOT SURE WHAT MACROS YOU SHOULD BE HITTING? CLICK FOR HELP
