• I agree with MOTH 100%, I have been a vegi for the last 21 years (am 31 now) (and now trying to be raw vegan) but I avoid having or trying to find a partner who is vegi/vegan exactly because of this problem. I dont like seeing meat in shops and I ce…

• Stevio: I have looked in a few places and it seems that alfalfa sprouts are only about 1.3g of protein per 33g, just do a few google searches and you’ll find the same. Please make sure you get enough protein in your diet as without it your body will…

  in The Protein Question Revisited Comment by springleaf
• Yes our protein needs per kg depend on many things, body composition is one of them and activity level is another. If you do a lot of sport you need to more protein to build/repair muscle tissue so you need more, the less active you are the less you…
