271. How to Eat Enough Protein (Even if you don’t like meat!)


Listen Later

The protein recommendations for women always sound ridiculous. That’s SO much protein! How is it even possible to eat that much, especially if you don’t like meat?!

Podcast listener, Bonnie, sent me this question this week: “I’d like to hear you talk about ways to ensure adequate daily protein intake for women who don’t eat meat - like beef, pork chicken, etc. This is me, but I do eat fish, eggs and dairy.”

In this quick episode, I cover:

  • How much daily protein is ideal for women
  • Good plant-based sources of protein
  • Practical strategies for eating enough protein even as a (mostly) plant-based eater
  • How to NOT become an obsessive macronutrient counter in the process
  • If you think your protein intake might not be where it should be and you need some ideas, listen to this!

    Do you have a burning question that you need answered? I’d love to help you out for FREE! Just head to www.vigeofit.com/ask and I’ll take care of you on an upcoming Friday episode.
