The idea that you can't get enough protein from plants has no basis in science.
While most people only need to consume on average 0.8g of protein per a kilogram of body weight per a day to maintain good health, research suggests that most athletes require between 1.2g - 2.0g of protein per a kilogram of body weight, with endurance athletes on the lower end and body builders or strength athletes on the upper end. If your goal is to increase muscle mass & strength quickly like professionals aim to do, research shows that as much as 2.2g of protein per a kilogram of body weight can be effective.
PlantChef has helped me in so many ways, the biggest being helping me make the transition into veganism... Without the convenience of PlantChef I would not have been able to transition into a fully plant based diet as quickly as I did.
I 'm a personal trainer and a very active person, having PlantChef's fresh and tasty meals has made it possible for me to not only keep up, but excel in intense training and nutrition requirements...
I'd recommend their selection of meals to anybody even athletes! Thank you PlantChef for your unmatched quality of food and service

It's not all about protein
Getting enough calories & protein is crucial to gaining muscle & strength but, carbohydrates also play a key role in achieving these goals. Carbs provide the fuel required to complete an intense workout and also supplying valuable fuel for the brain to help us stay sharp & focused.
Further advantages of plants
Plants are loaded with many other important nutrients including fiber, healthy fats, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants & phytochemicals. More advantages include increased energy, increased blood flow & reduced inflammation.
It's important to remember that everyone's bodies & goals are different so personal experimentation is the easiest way to determine whats best for you.
