    For ages, we have assumed that protein is synonymous with animal protein, i.e. meat, eggs, and dairy. But on the contrary, plant-based protein is way healthier than animal protein. And luckily the list is vast indeed. Here are some drool-worthy high-protein vegan meals.

    High-protein Vegan Meals

    Why is protein necessary?

    Every cell in the human body contains protein. Structurally, it's a chain of 20 amino acids. 9 amino acids are essential that can not be produced by the body and we need to depend on external sources of protein for that. The other 11 amino acids are nonessential as the body produces them generally. Protein is generally required for the growth and development of each living being in many ways. It helps in building muscle mass and provides overall support to the body and our systems. Read more about the role of protein here.

    What is a protein-rich diet?

    Protein is an essential component of our daily diet. We must include foods that are high in protein content. And, the sources of vegan protein are vast indeed. One sedentary must take 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight. It is necessary for us to provide our bodies with the required amount of protein to lead healthier lives.

    Plant-based protein benefits -

    It's a myth indeed that meat and other animal products have more protein than plant-based. There are many protein sources that provide all amino acids and make a complete protein structure. And the digestibility of vegan protein is much better when we compare it with any animal protein. Check out the plant-based protein sources.
