As a vegetarian, what do you do for protein? Previous Question | Go Back to Q&A Archives | Next Question
I get between 55 and 85 grams of protein daily, depending on activity level and my day-to-day instincts. This means I average 70 grams daily, slightly above US RDA. I find this sufficient for moderate regular exercise and moderate weight lifting/muscle building. The percentage of protein in my diet averages about 15 percent (with 60-65 percent carbohydrate and 20-25 percent fat). ~ Robyn Landis NOTE: Protein in the diet is discussed in
two other places on this site: The "Exiting
The Zone" Myth Bust, the "Confused
About Carbohydrates?", Myth Bust, and the "South
Beach Diet" Myth Bust as well as Experts
Talk Carbs. NOTE: Vegetarianism is also briefly discussed on pp. 110-112 of Robyn Landis's book Herbal Defense.
