Protein intake for people following a vegan diet (Part 5 of 5)

People following a vegan diet are often bombarded with questions like where they obtain their protein from. It is fairly simple to get enough protein on a vegan diet to meet the daily recommendations.

Almost all fruits, vegetables, grains, beans, nuts, and seeds have some protein, and some of them have quite a lot of it. A diet consisting solely of fruits, sugars, fats, and alcohol would likely be too low in protein because these foods don't contain a lot of protein.

So as long as your diet provides enough calories to maintain weight, vegans who eat a variety of foods such as vegetables, beans, grains, nuts, and seeds rarely struggle to receive adequate protein.
