A common misconception is that you can’t get enough protein on a plant-based diet. There are many plant foods that are rich sources of protein including lentils, beans, tofu, and nuts. Most are also high in fiber and low in fat and cholesterol; allowing you to feel fuller longer and reducing risks of chronic diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer and cognitive decline. Plants are the most nutrient dense foods we can eat, full of vitamins and minerals. And most plant-based protein ingredients such as legumes, beans and whole grains are often cheaper per number of calorie than meats and fish.
