#212 | MM - Peace with Protein: How Much Do You Really Need?
Show Notes

Is it possible to talk about anything in the world of nutrition without addressing the sexiest of all macronutrients!? I think not.

When adopting any form of a plant-based diet, you'll likely hear a continual stream of questions about your protein quality and quantity. Are you getting enough? Where does it come from? What are the best sources? Is it really inferior to animal sources? And on and on the questions come.

Today we intend to equip you with the knowledge and understanding to confidently stand your ground on a whole food plant based diet, while also ensuring that you are indeed getting what you need!
