mustfacereality: This is proof I don’t need meat for protein.  I’m so tired of people asking me if I get enough protein as a vegetarian.  Hello, are you getting enough fruits and veggies only eating meat???? First of all, I don’t know any humans who are carnivores and eat nothing but meat. We are omnivores and split our meals between proteins (meat/fish), grains, and fruits/vegetables. What do the %s even stand for in that chart? Percent daily value of protein? Biological value? If you look up the source of this (http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/Data/HG72/hg72_2002.pdf), the only item listed in percents is %water. According to the aforementioned link, adult males need between 45-63 grams (43-50 if you’re female) of protein daily, more if you’re pregnant or lactating. I challenge all of you to look through this guide and see where you stack up and where your nutrition is lacking. I would suggest checking out the meat, dairy and egg section if you’re lacking in a little protein. ;) 3 months ago with 775 notes 775 notes

    Although, from what I hear, Americans are more likely to get much more protein than they need than to suffer from a lack...
