Your body can use more protein!!

Plant protein... gag.. gag.. for whatever reason, I can't stand the plant-based protein I've tried. I don't know what it is, it just does not agree with me.

Have to agree, protein as a whole will help you in more ways than one. It keeps you feeling full/satisfied and reduces cravings so it can help you lose weight. If you're trying to gain any lean mass at all, then you need to increase your intake. Once you've gained some lean mass, again, that will help you burn fat and lose weight if that's what you're after. I finally convinced my wife that it was a good thing, and so now she has a scoop of protein daily. She says that her hair and nails have also improved besides helping her reduce sugar intake.

No way I could be vegan. I love meat way to much.

I love vegetables, but when it comes to protein, I just want the one of animal origin.

My wife is from Brazil, and they loooove their barbecue. I've fallen in love with it, too. Would never want to give that up. That said, there's something to be had for the regular staple of beans and rice. You get protein completed by the carb in the rice, and it's a good rib-sticking meal. Brazilian feijão or feijoada -- soo good!

Now I am getting hungry!!

I cannot even stand the smell of plant protein much less the taste. Ughhh.
