Where Is The Protein? | If Eminem Was Vegan Sequel | Lecture | Q & A | Animal Rights

Protein is a compound comprising of various amino acids. Amino acids can be divided into essential and non essential amino acids. Non essential amino acids are the ones our body produces naturally. Essential amino acids are the ones we have to get from food.

There are 9 essential and 2 conditionally essential amino acids :
They are Cystine, Histidine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Lysine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Threonine, Tryptophan, Tyrosine and Valine
All of these essential amino acids can be obtained from plants.

For example take a food such as brown rice is low in Lysine. So if you eat only brown rice you will eventually over time develop lysine deficiency. But no one on Earth eats only brown rice. We eat rice, dal and vegetables. We eat a diet comprising of various grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, fruits and vegetables. By including a variety of plant food we ensure that we get all of the protein we need. This is not a complicated thing to do at all.

If we look at our traditional foods what is sambar rice, it is rice and dal. The dal in the sambar is high in lysine and therefore makes it a complete protein.
Similarly rajma chawal is rice and rajma, which is also a legume.
Poha is flattened rice with peanuts.

Basically all of our traditional foods are a combination of various plant foods in one meal and that will ensure that you get all of the amino acids your body needs.

Beans such as channa and rajma have around 20 gms of protein in them per 100 gms in dry weight

All of your dals like toor dal, masoor dal, urad dal and moong dal have over 25 gms of protein per 100 gms in dry weight.

Soy is really high in protein far higher than any animal product. 100 gms of soy chunks which is dirt cheap has over 50 gms of protein.

For even more serious athletes who take protein powders, plant based proteins powders are also available on the market so you have options for that as well.

A very good documentary to check out is THE GAME CHANGERS. It is a documentary featuring various athletes the world over who have broken world records and perform extraordinary food while eating only plant based food and 0 animal based foods.
