Get Majority of your proteins from plant based foods

You should consume about 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight each day. Get the majority of your proteins from plant-based foods such as nuts, seeds and beans.

Great sources of plant-based proteins are:
·     Avocados
·     Beans
·     Buckwheat
·     Chia Seeds
·     Chick Peas
·     Dark Leafy Greens
·     Edamame
·     Green Peas
·     Hemp
·     Nuts
·     Quinoa
·     Seitan
·     Spirulina
·     Tofu
·     Unsweetened Cocoa Powder

Try replacing these with the animal based proteins you usually consume. It will not only be easier to regulate your protein intake,but it will improve your overall health as well.
