The best sources of plant-based protein are legumes (such as peas, lentils, chickpeas, black beans, and kidney beans), soy-based products (such as tofu, tempeh, and edamame), and nuts and seeds (such as almonds, peanuts, sunflower seeds, and chia seeds). Remember that most plant-based protein sources are incomplete or lower in some of the essential amino acids. Consuming a variety of plant-based protein sources can help ensure that you are getting all the essential amino acids that your body needs.
Plant-based proteins often have more carb and fat calories than protein calories in one serving, especially nuts, seeds and beans, which can make weight management tricky. That's when Planted by UNJURY® is especially helpful. You get 20 grams of the highest-quality vegan protein for only 130 calories per serving.
One of the most important ways that plant and animal proteins differ is in their amino acid profile. Both plant and animal proteins contain amino acids, but the amounts of amino acids differ by source. Animal proteins are generally considered "complete proteins" because they contain all of the essential amino acids that the body can't make on its own, while most plant proteins are "incomplete proteins" because they lack one or more of the essential amino acids. However, it is possible to get all of the essential amino acids from a plant-based diet by combining different plant protein sources.
To maintain muscle mass and keep your metabolism healthy, you need high-quality protein every day. Medical research shows that 30-30-30, 30 grams of protein 3 times each day is ideal for maintaining muscle as we age. That is 90 grams of protein spread out evenly throughout the day.
It is possible to get enough protein from plant sources, however animal products are generally a more concentrated source of protein. Plant-based protein supplements like Planted® by UNJURY® are a great way to boost your daily protein intake when you are on a strict vegan or plant-based diet.
