#203 | Mastering Macros - Protein

WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR PROTEIN!?

Are you still being asked this silly question?

In this episode we dive deep to understand WHAT protein actually is, WHAT it does for your body, and HOW MUCH you actually need.

In the end, we debunk a lot of misconceptions held about proteint requirements and your plant based diet.

In this episode we get a little sciencey to discuss some critical information to understand so you can fuel your body optimally.

DISCLAIMER: We do NOT recommend counting macronutrients, or any other nutritional metric for that matter, including calories!

Some important takeaways include...

• The miracle of nitrogen-fixing bacteria
• Essential vs non-essential amino acids
• "plant protein" vs "animal protein"
• How animal protein can acidify the body
• The risks of a high protein diet
• The myth of protein deficiency
