I meant to get a similar amount of protein you need to consume more vegan food, especially calorie rich ones, most restaurants that I’ve seen when they have comparable items the vegan one had way more calories.
Sure, but optimizing for protein isn’t the best methodology. I guess if you’re determined to max protein, meat is a better source. But if you want a better and more rounded diet, especially one low in saturated fats and high in fiber, the vegetarian (or even reduced meat) pathway is much better. Doubly so if you’re concerned about heart disease, colon cancer, or any of the side effects of eating too much protein.
Makes sense, thank you. I personally try to avoid red meats because of the concerns you raised. I’m not saying a meat only diet is the way, ofc you need a well rounded diet and greens certainly have their place in our diets, but we are omnivores for a reason
