Guest guest Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Hi , Any idea how much protein we need a day? And can we go days without? Currently I do 2 days a week maximum fish then the rest vegetarian but worry that I don't get everything I need following the BBD. I'd love to be 100% vegetarian again but can't see how.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Caution! Some require more protien than others. One size does not fit all. ......RP Hi , Any idea how much protein we need a day? And can we go days without? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Hi Janet. Vegetarians say that we need very little, carnivores think we need a lot. There are many viewpoints about this including Biblical, moral and scientific evidence. I tend to lean toward the vegan point of view based on the amount of protein in mother's milk when an infant is growing the most and uses more energy (that's just one point). Read this and see if you agree. If you do agree, go back to being a vegetarian and add more raw to your diet! If you don't agree, eat red meat/fish/fowl occasionally. You can always change your diet to suit you. Amino acids are in everything. It's impossible to go without protein if you eat a balanced raw diet. http://www.ecologos.org/pp.htm > > Hi , > Any idea how much protein we need a day?
