With all the research on plant-based diets ‘out there’, I’m still amazed that folks still ask where we get our protein. I’m 58, have been plant-based for over 13 years and I’m the healthiest member of my family - who all eat meat, by the way - by a long mile. Thanks for sharing your bubbly personality and your journey!
Most of these are incomplete proteins, meaning they do not have all of the essential amino acids to build muscle. You need to pair these with other types of protein to make them complete so that the body can then use/synthesise the protein for collagen/skin/hair/muscle (build and repair), etc. for example, beans/legumes and grains make a complete protein, so beans on toast is actually a good meal in terms of being a complete protein; also hummus and pitta…. Beans and seeds also make a complete protein; also nuts/seeds and whole grains, eg peanut butter on toast… The key to making these proteins valuable for the body to use them is to make them complete proteins by pairing them with a food that contains the missing amino acids. I’m a personal trainer that specialises in diet and nutrition so I felt compelled to share this to help people who are going plant-based.
Do your research. You’re quoting old and outdated nonsense. There is no such thing as “complete” or “incomplete” protein. We need amino acids and they are more freely available to assimilate from plants than from animal flesh.
The concept that we need to eat so-called complementary proteins together (for example, rice and beans) to make up for their relative shortfalls was refuted decades ago. The myths that plant proteins are incomplete, aren’t as good as animal proteins, or need to be combined with other proteins at meals have all been dismissed by the nutrition community decades ago, but many evidently didn’t get the memo.
You need another course on nutrition by Nimai and hundreds of vegans who look and feel way better than most carnis. Absolutely disagree with your hypothesis about plant based diet. That's archaic take in food . Even Arnold's views say that if anyone tells you plant based is incomplete food, REJECT THAT IDEA! and I am talking from LIVING ON THIS DIET...and what it has DONE TO MY BODY, HORMONES, AND MIND. As a fitness trainer, I'd humbly recommend to stay abreast with what hundreds of experts and saying and the mind boggling results of plant based diet rather than using dated ideas..
👍 love your clips🎉just found you! I have a request- pls could you do a clip on how you cut your hair😅looks fab! Loving your clips!! Thank you and well done on your transformation ❤
Yes! Need haircut video. I have a lot of silver hair. I mean a lot. It is course. I think her hair looks great, but it's a little finer than mine. I wish I could cut my own hair. I keep looking for videos. I've never gotten a good haircut that I really liked. Resorted to leaving it long into a pony. For the convenience. Would love more style.
I wanted to go only plant based but I had a colon surgery because I had diverticulitis. Too much fiber, any sort of beans or seeds can actually unleash a very painful episode of bowel irritation 😢
Love all those proteins...except tofu. I just can't get my head into that. (But yes, I do eat meat proteins too.) There are several of us requesting a video on how you cut your hair. Would love to see that!
Perfect list! I’m going to diversify. No need for tons of nasty fatty meat protein…. You build muscles by using them, not by eating them. Thanks for the info and the thinspo FiftySister! You’re Amazing!

All 22 proteinogenic amino acids MUST be present in a food in order for your body to synthesise/use it to build muscle. If only ONE is missing, your body cannot use it to make protein and will catabolise/break down muscle in order to get what it needs. Apart from tofu, all the so-called proteins listed here are incomplete proteins, meaning they are missing certain amino acids to build protein. You will need to pair them with proteins that have those missing amino acids if you want to build muscle. For example: beans + seeds; beans + grains (think beans on toast, peanut butter on toast, hummus and pitta, etc.). When it comes to building muscle, nutrition is key. Using muscle only builds muscle if you are consuming enough high-quality protein. Sorry to burst your bubble 🫧
@@evangelinatsadiosou6962you aren’t bursting any bubble, dearie! All you need to do is eat a mixture of vegan proteins to get all the amino acids, which we do quite naturally - think baked beans on wholemeal toast!

No way should you replace eggs with anything. Eggs are natures Super Food. Packed with protein, vitamins, minerals, very good fats and a whole load more such as Choline (read up on this, you'll be amazed). Also the cholesterol association with eggs is complete misinformation. One of the best sources if a total and balanced protein, around 6g per egg.
I agree. Also you have to collect eggs if you keep chickens or you will end up overrun, not just with hens but with lots of cockerels as well and they fight each other. Speaking from experience here as we lived in the countryside for years and everyone kept chickens, if you didn’t get all the eggs in it could be a real problem. It’s such a daft idea to not eat eggs.
I love this! Thank you for sharing! You are such an inspiration. I am 50 and have not eaten meat since February 2024. I am eating more plants and trying new healthy recipes. I also recently began jogging motivated by my husband that is a jogger. I love your kettlebell/jump rope workouts, so motivating. Keep up the great work!! You look amazing!!🥦💪
I didn’t know about buckwheat! How awesome is this!!!! Not a big fan of peanut butter anymore BUT I am hooked on sunbutter. I get my nutty butter joy but with sunflower seeds. I’m curious on how you enjoy split yellow peas when it’s hot out. I adore legumes and can use them in salads and lighter dishes, just need a few summer yellow split pea recipes.
I felt inspired by your lovely videos, I started watching yesterday and instead of having cereal and milk plus White coffee with sugar. I had herbal tea with honey and avocado toast ❤ I feel better already from starting my day plant based. Thank you for the inspiration ❤

All excellent choices. Hubby and I get 15-25 different foods per day so I think we’re covered. Btw, Those eating plant‑based diets average about twice the estimated average daily protein requirement.
Makes sense … animals eat protein base plant foods too. For me protein sources you listed cause gas and bloating and aren’t recommended on the anti inflammatory diet. Soy has a lot of side effects too. I don’t see any problem with certain meats, meat has broken down minerals that the body can absorb easily. Googled- grass fed cows - Pasture feeding has been demonstrated to have a positive impact on the nutrient profile of milk, increasing the content of some beneficial nutrients such as Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, vaccenic acid, and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), while reducing the levels of Omega-6 fatty acids and palmitic acid. 🦋❤🦋
Plant proteins are bad for people with osteporosis. Makes it difficult for the bones to absorb nutrients due to lectins, phytates, oxalates etc. which bind to the needed nutrients & prevent them from being absorbed into the bones. Dr. Doug Lucas confirms that.
Just be aware that Flaxseed have a question mark over them regarding a breast cancer concern. I use to take them but my body rejected these seeds and later found out the above info. Do your research before indulging. Thank you lively lady for this vid! Have a wonderful day🎉
@@suzanne6350 Yes there were animal studies that revealed that but no conclusive human studies. I started eating them about 20 years ago and couldn't understand why I felt so ill. I looked at what I had included in my first recently and decided to give the flaxseed a rest. I was better after I did this. I researched flaxseed and found that some studies revealed they may cause breast cancer if you ate a lot of them. Jury is still out so that is why I said a question mark over them. Same with Black Cohosh. Studied nutrition for many years and just like to help us women. Enjoy your day! 😊
Most people eat too much protein. I’d really like to know how you use buckwheat. All I can think of is pancakes 😂. I’ve never used buckwheat but I’m sure there must be some good vegan recipes using it. Any ideas would be welcomed.
Just a note it has been disproven that combining a grain with a legume makes a complete protein. My understanding is each food has different measures of the food-based, protein amino acids.
Adding grains or seeds to legumes adds the missing amino acids from the legumes so that all 22 essential amino acids are present in order for the body to synthesise/use protein.
Just to clarify my answer, there are 9 essential acids we need to get from foods. The old belief that we needed to combine a protein and a grain at a meal to get a complete protein has been determined to be a ‘myth’. Eating grains with beans can help provide more of the various amino acids we need each day, but they don’t always have to be eaten at the same time. Eating a variety of grains, legumes, fruits, vegetables and if desired, nuts & seeds, can provide all of the nine amino acids we derive from food. A free app like Cronometer can help show specifically how much protein amino acids (& vitamins & minerals) we’re getting each day. (Just a note, too, that athletes and those building muscle may want to more carefully combine foods at meals to supply enough complete protein.) I also like Dr. Gregor’s daily dozen as a general guideline, although nothing has to be so regimented. It does take some effort to eat a variety of foods to get enough nutrition, in my experience. I also find Dr. Esselstyn’s heart-healthy diet helpful which adds more greens, but my family is prone to high cholesterol, so that may factor in. Best wishes to all. 🙂
Thank you you are so inspiring. My naturopath says because of my hypothyroidism and cross reactivity of some foods not to eat wheat peas, lentil, corn, rye, barley how am I gonna be a vegetarian?
Easily! Nuts and brown rice, for starters - peanut butter on rice cakes is a great breakfast, and contains all the amino acids you need. Then there’s the wonderful world of soya - crustless tofu quiche, soy mince chilli, stir fried vegetables with tofu or nuts. You just need to learn to cook.
I am pescatarian. When I was vegetarian people would ask me that. Irritating because its not like most of these ppl were getting grass fed, natural chicken breasts drom McDonald's. Where are MOST people getting protein? Thanks for sharing.
Glad this works for you. I followed a modified keto plan including 7 cups of green leafy and cruciforpus veggies a day until i found myself getting sicker and sicker the more veggies I ate. Veggies totally messed up my digestion, indigestion kept me awake most nights, insomnia led to depression.. One day i ate 2 grass fed and grass finished beef burgers and i had the best 24 hours of my life! Felt energized and happy. Started researching carnivore and there are thousands of testimonials from former vegans who reversed all of their health problems by going carnivore and have been so for many years. It seems for many people the carnivore diet is healing. Perhaps going carnivore will help my digestive issues and ill be able to eat veggies some day, or perhaps Sally Norton is right: that vegetables DO NOT WANT to be eaten, and they are poisoning us!
100g of peanuts is 25.8g of protein and 567 calories. 100g of roasted chicken breast is 30.76g of protein and 164 calories. Similar figures for other plant based sources of protein
How are u from NZ. You really have worked hard to get looking fabulous. Unfortunately my hair shredded for 3 half months when I fasted stopped when I realised it was fasting only did it for a few weeks. Just started menopause strangely hot flushes are wonderful lol because it's cold here saves me putting heater on. Your hair did u find it got thinner ? Really loved fasting never hungry but not doing it now due to hair loss. half my thickness of hair went they say this does happen
Try Dose&Co collagen from Countdown. And it was founded by a kiwi woman. Your hair, skin, joints and nails will improve. It took me about 4 or 5 months to see results
As a vegetarian there’s a lot of missing information here. Just saying “ blah blah has this much protein” is not really helpful. Like the sunflower seeds- in 100 grams there are over 500 calories, 51 grams of FAT and 21 grams of carbs. If that’s all you are going eat- well… but obviously you can’t down 100 grams of sunflower seeds and call it good. Good nutrition information takes everything into consideration. I guess I’m tired of self- proclaimed experts on TH-cam making these kinds of videos because it’s half of the information you really need to be wholly healthy. Do some research and give complete information or please don’t give nutrition advice. Just because you feel good eating like this doesn’t mean you should be giving advice to others. You can cause more harm than good. People think everyone on TH-cam is an expert.
Ihr Name klingt deutsch, deshalb antworte ich in meiner Muttersprache. Weichen Sie die Hülsenfrüchte (bis auf Linsen) mindestens 12 Stunden ein. Dann entweder ca. 12 Stunden keimen lassen oder direkt kochen. Dauer ca. 45 Minuten ungekeimt. Ich koche vor und friere portionsweise ein.
Misleading info here. All of those protein percentages for grains and legumes refer to the dry product. Once they are soaked and cooked, they only contain about 7% protein, rather than e.g. 19%. They therefore don't compare favourably to chicken, as this is 25% in its normal high moisture form. I love all these legumes too, but let's be honest! Hummus is actually very low in protein! It has a high water content.
@@rubygray7749 Absolutely. People are following her for nutrition content and all they hear is "it has x amount of protein". All she had to do was talk about the cooked amounts vs raw. But that wouldn't make good soundbites or drive people to her YT channel.
I love this, but I think everyone is forget to talk about how dangerous soya is. Im on hormone replacement therapy and im not allowed to eat it, only in very small amount, which means im not eating at all.
And it’s as easy as that. The nuts and seeds are pricey in the volumes I eat them 😋. I was a vegetarian but I have reverted to eating anything. I still eat like a vegetarian for most of the month but I eat chicken sometimes. I take Flaxseed aka Linseed for ablution benefits mainly. One big negative about the nuts and seeds is that they are highly fattening-good fat but highly highly calorific. If you can’t do high intensity workouts then huge discipline is required in the quantities.
Yeah, how well I know! I suck at "moderation" so find it easier to avoid certain foods than try to resist the temptation. As for vegetarianism... it's important we do our best for our health and of course that of the animals and the planet, but not everyone wants to be religious about how we eat. I firmly believe if you wouldn't or couldn't personally kill, gut, and butcher an animal yourself, you have no right eating it... just because you let someone else do the dirty work. I grew up on the coastline, and fishing, foraging clams, mussels, snails, crabs, etc. was how our families supplemented our groceries and budgets. I'm not justifying it but I've made peace with the fact that I will still occasionally (once a month or so) allow and give thanks for the privilege of indulging in some sort of seafood.
Gail I love all of your videos and you are so inspiring !!! Thank you ❤. Ive just ordered weighted skipping rope...my aim is stamina and shapely firm legs like yours Mrs 😂😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Thanks for suggesting how to eat more vegetables that contain protein. I need to highlight your comparisons are great at 100 g but you’re comparing 100g chicken to a 100 g of dry split yellow beans. When split peas are cooked this is vastly different to 100 g of chicken and as your other commentators have made that we have naturally complete proteins and incomplete proteins that require combining to ensure that there they contain all the essential amino acids this can be done throughout the day preferably. I’m a Dietitian practising in a community for the last 17 years and eating largely a plant based diet. Just need to be clearer when making comparisons , although it’s understood you’re just saying what you eat. BTW love your hair !! But thanks for looking at the veggies that contain protein. We need to eat more of them.
Ugh. Eggs are needed to make much of the enjoyed foods that humans have eaten for millennia. I like cooking and baking, a life without eggs is entirely unappealing to me. The vegan gig seems like a dour self-hating life to me and it’s not my choice but entirely other’s to choose. I do however eat almost all of the items identified in this video. They can certainly be tasty and enjoyed.
Grams measure weight. Teaspoons measure volume. One pound, 16 ounces, is 454 grams. 100 Grams is 3.5 ounces by weight. The amount of space that equals will vary depending on the density and weight of each food item. An inexpensive digital kitchen scale is a useful tool.
I enjoy listening to you for the most part and you are beautiful, but I’m strictly carnivore...so I won’t listen to the videos that contain food choices,if it works for you great but it does not for me Thx.🌺
Unfortunately, you cannot get complete proteins from plants alone. You can get partial protein, but not complete. The other downside is chemicals and eating a lot of indigestible fiber that makes your digestive system work overtime. I was mostly vegetarian for most of my life and the day I went carnivore is the day I started to heal my body….
There’s plenty of good information about complete plant proteins and amino acids. I’ve been eating this way for 14 years and I’m still alive. I eat organic.
Not very tasty all thèse seeds ! You can eat reasonably eggs and nice produits and have balanced meals. Cooking is a pleasure for eyes, body, mind and spirit ❤
Plant proteins are the better choice for diabetics as they are easier to break down than animal proteins therefore put less stress on the kidneys.as a result helping to better control blood pressure.
It baffles me that people don't know what protein is. I always tell people to stop calling meat protein. It's simply wrong. Education means hours upon hours about talking this gender crap, but not simple food chemistry.
Meat is a source of protein. That is a scientific fact. It is still entirely your choice if you want to eat it or not. Gender has nothing to do with the discussion, so take your bigotry elsewhere.
@@lily5952 I'm a biochemist. I have three degrees in this. Meat is not protein. Protein is in meat. Protein is ubiquitous in biology. Take your stupidity back to the gym. You obviously failed high-school.
I have studied about soy for SOOOOO long. It’s totally confusing the different studies done about it. It’s not just people’s opinion, it’s from legitimate Dr/experts and some studies show it’s not harmful and some show it is. True studies, not just opinions . It drives me crazy because I don’t know whether to eat it or not..
I guess it depends on what you are comparing it to..... I'm happy to consume soya milk, tofu etc. based on current scientific evidence. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5188409/#:~:text=There%20is%20evidence%2C%20for%20example,symptoms%20and%20improve%20skin%20health. 3:30
Why? So you can mock them? Why can’t people just eat what they want and stop caring about what others say? Enjoy your life and eat what you feel is best for you. ❤
@@chrisd8795 I don't care about what people eat. They can continue to eat cholesterol bombs as they do but what gets on my nerves is the constant mocking and deriding that vegans face at the hands of carnis. Their latent guilt probably is so high that they cannot help but post their hatred on a post on plant based diet. Even though I am not a vegan yet, I have the prudence to know that it is the least violent way to exist at the same time a great way to nurture your body and the environment. Most carnis will cry over cutting down of rainforests and sign petitions but won't acknowledge the fact that animal farms are one of the BIGGEST contributorS to environmental problems. If calling out misplaced understanding is termed mocking, I can't help it.
@@HKS286 Actually you were being hypocritical. The information is out there for all to see. Therefore, do what is best for you. If you are trying to be a healthier individual, then all this bickering and unnecessary debating is not healthy at all. In fact it probably makes you sicker than the ones you are debating with. Love your life in obedience to the way you are being led and forget about the opposition.

Flax seeds are supposed to prevent breast cancer. Where did you hear otherwise?
@@suzanne6350 Yes there were animal studies that revealed that but no conclusive human studies. I started eating them about 20 years ago and couldn't understand why I felt so ill. I looked at what I had included in my first recently and decided to give the flaxseed a rest. I was better after I did this. I researched flaxseed and found that some studies revealed they may cause breast cancer if you ate a lot of them. Jury is still out so that is why I said a question mark over them. Same with Black Cohosh. Studied nutrition for many years and just like to help us women. Enjoy your day! 😊
@@suzanne6350 Hi. I sent a long reply but can't find it! Hope you got it ok. If you didn't let me know and I will try and answer your question again.
Love this and you!
Hi Gail, you are over inspiring 😊 thanks a lot. ❤ Jeanette
Most people eat too much protein. I’d really like to know how you use buckwheat. All I can think of is pancakes 😂. I’ve never used buckwheat but I’m sure there must be some good vegan recipes using it. Any ideas would be welcomed.
Just wondering. Is there not something that needs to be combined with legumes to make them a complete protein?
Just a note it has been disproven that combining a grain with a legume makes a complete protein. My understanding is each food has different measures of the food-based, protein amino acids.
Adding grains or seeds to legumes adds the missing amino acids from the legumes so that all 22 essential amino acids are present in order for the body to synthesise/use protein.
Just to clarify my answer, there are 9 essential acids we need to get from foods. The old belief that we needed to combine a protein and a grain at a meal to get a complete protein has been determined to be a ‘myth’. Eating grains with beans can help provide more of the various amino acids we need each day, but they don’t always have to be eaten at the same time. Eating a variety of grains, legumes, fruits, vegetables and if desired, nuts & seeds, can provide all of the nine amino acids we derive from food. A free app like Cronometer can help show specifically how much protein amino acids (& vitamins & minerals) we’re getting each day. (Just a note, too, that athletes and those building muscle may want to more carefully combine foods at meals to supply enough complete protein.) I also like Dr. Gregor’s daily dozen as a general guideline, although nothing has to be so regimented. It does take some effort to eat a variety of foods to get enough nutrition, in my experience. I also find Dr. Esselstyn’s heart-healthy diet helpful which adds more greens, but my family is prone to high cholesterol, so that may factor in. Best wishes to all. 🙂
You certainly look good on it🎉
Do you eat potatoes often?
Thank you you are so inspiring. My naturopath says because of my hypothyroidism and cross reactivity of some foods not to eat wheat peas, lentil, corn, rye, barley how am I gonna be a vegetarian?
Easily! Nuts and brown rice, for starters - peanut butter on rice cakes is a great breakfast, and contains all the amino acids you need. Then there’s the wonderful world of soya - crustless tofu quiche, soy mince chilli, stir fried vegetables with tofu or nuts. You just need to learn to cook.
Hi Gail, I eat quorn as a meat substitute. Is this a good source too?
Thank you so much for this. I have an issue getting enough protein.
Can you share buckwheat recipes?
I am pescatarian. When I was vegetarian people would ask me that. Irritating because its not like most of these ppl were getting grass fed, natural chicken breasts drom McDonald's. Where are MOST people getting protein? Thanks for sharing.
What about mushroons? Packed with proteins too!!
Beans and rice are a perfect protein ❤ cheep and easy
Eat lentils
Glad this works for you. I followed a modified keto plan including 7 cups of green leafy and cruciforpus veggies a day until i found myself getting sicker and sicker the more veggies I ate. Veggies totally messed up my digestion, indigestion kept me awake most nights, insomnia led to depression.. One day i ate 2 grass fed and grass finished beef burgers and i had the best 24 hours of my life! Felt energized and happy. Started researching carnivore and there are thousands of testimonials from former vegans who reversed all of their health problems by going carnivore and have been so for many years. It seems for many people the carnivore diet is healing. Perhaps going carnivore will help my digestive issues and ill be able to eat veggies some day, or perhaps Sally Norton is right: that vegetables DO NOT WANT to be eaten, and they are poisoning us!
100g of peanuts is 25.8g of protein and 567 calories. 100g of roasted chicken breast is 30.76g of protein and 164 calories. Similar figures for other plant based sources of protein
Beans, Lentils…..
And sunflower seeds: A whopping 51 grams of fat and 20 grams of carbs- aside from 584 calories…..
What does 100 grrams look like?
Google
How are u from NZ. You really have worked hard to get looking fabulous. Unfortunately my hair shredded for 3 half months when I fasted stopped when I realised it was fasting only did it for a few weeks. Just started menopause strangely hot flushes are wonderful lol because it's cold here saves me putting heater on. Your hair did u find it got thinner ? Really loved fasting never hungry but not doing it now due to hair loss. half my thickness of hair went they say this does happen
I get you, but plz try to incorporate more protien and vitamin C into your diet...
You need Collagen.
@@almadouxe2292vitamin c is the major nutrient that makes collagen
Menopause love does crazy things to a women's body, hair lose can be one symptom, keep on keeping on 💜
Try Dose&Co collagen from Countdown. And it was founded by a kiwi woman. Your hair, skin, joints and nails will improve. It took me about 4 or 5 months to see results
Fab👍👍
As a vegetarian there’s a lot of missing information here. Just saying “ blah blah has this much protein” is not really helpful. Like the sunflower seeds- in 100 grams there are over 500 calories, 51 grams of FAT and 21 grams of carbs. If that’s all you are going eat- well… but obviously you can’t down 100 grams of sunflower seeds and call it good. Good nutrition information takes everything into consideration. I guess I’m tired of self- proclaimed experts on TH-cam making these kinds of videos because it’s half of the information you really need to be wholly healthy. Do some research and give complete information or please don’t give nutrition advice. Just because you feel good eating like this doesn’t mean you should be giving advice to others. You can cause more harm than good. People think everyone on TH-cam is an expert.
This! Yes, 100g might have that much protein, but everything else skews when you look at "real" portion/serving sizes of these Top 10 items.
How do you cook yellow split peas?
I find they take ages to cook so gave up on those
Ihr Name klingt deutsch, deshalb antworte ich in meiner Muttersprache. Weichen Sie die Hülsenfrüchte (bis auf Linsen) mindestens 12 Stunden ein. Dann entweder ca. 12 Stunden keimen lassen oder direkt kochen. Dauer ca. 45 Minuten ungekeimt. Ich koche vor und friere portionsweise ein.
Misleading info here.
All of those protein percentages for grains and legumes refer to the dry product.
Once they are soaked and cooked, they only contain about 7% protein, rather than e.g. 19%.
They therefore don't compare favourably to chicken, as this is 25% in its normal high moisture form.
I love all these legumes too, but let's be honest!
Hummus is actually very low in protein! It has a high water content.
Do I have to tell people water is wet?
@@FiftySister No, but don't let them think that cooked chickpeas are 19% protein!
@@FiftySisterdisappointed in your answer. If you are going to be giving nutrition advice you should give educated responses. Unsubscribed!
@@rubygray7749I totally agree!!
@@rubygray7749 Absolutely. People are following her for nutrition content and all they hear is "it has x amount of protein". All she had to do was talk about the cooked amounts vs raw. But that wouldn't make good soundbites or drive people to her YT channel.
I love this, but I think everyone is forget to talk about how dangerous soya is. Im on hormone replacement therapy and im not allowed to eat it, only in very small amount, which means im not eating at all.
And it’s as easy as that. The nuts and seeds are pricey in the volumes I eat them 😋. I was a vegetarian but I have reverted to eating anything. I still eat like a vegetarian for most of the month but I eat chicken sometimes. I take Flaxseed aka Linseed for ablution benefits mainly. One big negative about the nuts and seeds is that they are highly fattening-good fat but highly highly calorific. If you can’t do high intensity workouts then huge discipline is required in the quantities.
Yeah, how well I know! I suck at "moderation" so find it easier to avoid certain foods than try to resist the temptation. As for vegetarianism... it's important we do our best for our health and of course that of the animals and the planet, but not everyone wants to be religious about how we eat. I firmly believe if you wouldn't or couldn't personally kill, gut, and butcher an animal yourself, you have no right eating it... just because you let someone else do the dirty work. I grew up on the coastline, and fishing, foraging clams, mussels, snails, crabs, etc. was how our families supplemented our groceries and budgets. I'm not justifying it but I've made peace with the fact that I will still occasionally (once a month or so) allow and give thanks for the privilege of indulging in some sort of seafood.
Gail I love all of your videos and you are so inspiring !!! Thank you ❤. Ive just ordered weighted skipping rope...my aim is stamina and shapely firm legs like yours Mrs 😂😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Thanks for suggesting how to eat more vegetables that contain protein. I need to highlight your comparisons are great at 100 g but you’re comparing 100g chicken to a 100 g of dry split yellow beans. When split peas are cooked this is vastly different to 100 g of chicken and as your other commentators have made that we have naturally complete proteins and incomplete proteins that require combining to ensure that there they contain all the essential amino acids this can be done throughout the day preferably. I’m a Dietitian practising in a community for the last 17 years and eating largely a plant based diet. Just need to be clearer when making comparisons , although it’s understood you’re just saying what you eat.
BTW love your hair !!
But thanks for looking at the veggies that contain protein. We need to eat more of them.
❤❤❤
Lots of carbs too
I love you!
Ugh. Eggs are needed to make much of the enjoyed foods that humans have eaten for millennia.
I like cooking and baking, a life without eggs is entirely unappealing to me.
The vegan gig seems like a dour self-hating life to me and it’s not my choice but entirely other’s to choose.
I do however eat almost all of the items identified in this video. They can certainly be tasty and enjoyed.
Tout ça ne me donne guère envie de manger ...toute cette nourriture froide ,sans vie! Un bon œuf à la coque oui ! Et ça ne tue pas la 🐔 poule ! ❤
Wow! Per 100 grams? There are 19 teaspoons in a 100 grams right??
19 teaspoons in which one?
Grams measure weight. Teaspoons measure volume. One pound, 16 ounces, is 454 grams. 100 Grams is 3.5 ounces by weight. The amount of space that equals will vary depending on the density and weight of each food item. An inexpensive digital kitchen scale is a useful tool.
Tempeh is number 1
I enjoy listening to you for the most part and you are beautiful, but I’m strictly carnivore...so I won’t listen to the videos that contain food choices,if it works for you great but it does not for me Thx.🌺
Unfortunately, you cannot get complete proteins from plants alone. You can get partial protein, but not complete. The other downside is chemicals and eating a lot of indigestible fiber that makes your digestive system work overtime. I was mostly vegetarian for most of my life and the day I went carnivore is the day I started to heal my body….
There’s plenty of good information about complete plant proteins and amino acids. I’ve been eating this way for 14 years and I’m still alive. I eat organic.
Not very tasty all thèse seeds ! You can eat reasonably eggs and nice produits and have balanced meals. Cooking is a pleasure for eyes, body, mind and spirit ❤
None of these foods are suitable if you want to or have to follow an anti-inflammatory diet.
Different strokes for different folks.
Plant proteins are the better choice for diabetics as they are easier to break down than animal proteins therefore put less stress on the kidneys.as a result helping to better control blood pressure.
No beans??
Yes, tofu and lentils are considered beans. But she did miss all the other beans which are very high in protein.
To be fair, she did say 'her top ten'. So many lovely different plant protein sources, a top ten isn't really enough. 😊
She did show garbanzo beans, aka chickpeas. And this is just her "top ten" that she likes to eat. This is for inspiration. You do you.
Make sure none are genetically modified.
Главное, как человек сеья чувствует. Ты выглядишь хорошо и хорошо себя чувствуешь- это лучший показатель.😊
It baffles me that people don't know what protein is. I always tell people to stop calling meat protein. It's simply wrong. Education means hours upon hours about talking this gender crap, but not simple food chemistry.
Meat is the most dense and brilliant protein on the planet.
Meat is a source of protein. That is a scientific fact. It is still entirely your choice if you want to eat it or not. Gender has nothing to do with the discussion, so take your bigotry elsewhere.
@@dorothysay8327 Beer is 95% water. Brilliant? Try to stick to proper biochemistry and not this Hollyweird stuff.
@@lily5952 I'm a biochemist. I have three degrees in this. Meat is not protein. Protein is in meat. Protein is ubiquitous in biology. Take your stupidity back to the gym. You obviously failed high-school.
@@lily5952 What about the 'choice' of the victims? Don't animals get a choice?
And tofu is super high in calcium!!
@@leannehardesty4526
Only if they add calcium in the tofu manufacturing process.
Now could you show us a recipe for each
A vegan who doesnt know about nutrition: 💀
I am so allergic to flaxseed !
I get a hormonal reaction to it!
Everything is good except soy.
Why not soy?
Soy is amazing! Especially if you want to avoid breast cancer. See “Breasts: THe Owners’ Manual” by Dr. Kristi Funk.
I have studied about soy for SOOOOO long. It’s totally confusing the different studies done about it. It’s not just people’s opinion, it’s from legitimate Dr/experts and some studies show it’s not harmful and some show it is. True studies, not just opinions . It drives me crazy because I don’t know whether to eat it or not..
@@melissasprayberry5047please check out pink
I guess it depends on what you are comparing it to.....
I'm happy to consume soya milk, tofu etc. based on current scientific evidence.

All those ignorant carnis that mock vegans should watch this....
Why? So you can mock them? Why can’t people just eat what they want and stop caring about what others say? Enjoy your life and eat what you feel is best for you. ❤
@@chrisd8795 I don't care about what people eat. They can continue to eat cholesterol bombs as they do but what gets on my nerves is the constant mocking and deriding that vegans face at the hands of carnis. Their latent guilt probably is so high that they cannot help but post their hatred on a post on plant based diet. Even though I am not a vegan yet, I have the prudence to know that it is the least violent way to exist at the same time a great way to nurture your body and the environment.
Most carnis will cry over cutting down of rainforests and sign petitions but won't acknowledge the fact that animal farms are one of the BIGGEST contributorS to environmental problems. If calling out misplaced understanding is termed mocking, I can't help it.
@@HKS286 Actually you were being hypocritical. The information is out there for all to see. Therefore, do what is best for you. If you are trying to be a healthier individual, then all this bickering and unnecessary debating is not healthy at all. In fact it probably makes you sicker than the ones you are debating with.
