Health, Sustainability and Plant-Based Myths
Keep an eye out for a few blog posts throughout the next few months..
Protein - keep calm, it's all a load of nonsense
We'll be covering this subject in detail within a blog (soon). For the moment - don't panic. Unless you are an elite sports person where your livelihood and success can be influenced by the smallest of margins - chill. You definitely don't need to worry about a) how much protein you're eating, b) when you eat protein, and c) the source of protein.
Quite simply - if you have a varied diet (whether you're plant-based or not) then you really don't need to worry about eating enough protein. And you don't need to worry about the source of your protein - see below.
At a physiological level - your body (digestive system) does not care and nor can it distinguish an amino acid that's 'come' from a slice of bacon versus a kidney bean.
There's been so much focus on protein because protein sells - which is clearly visible with the explosion of ultra-processed foods that take great effort to make sure PROTEIN is prominent on the packaging. There's a general rule of thumb for any food/drink that is marketing (making) a health claim - it will be unhealthy. Protein bars are essentially just 'normal' cereal/biscuit/chocolate bars with lots of sugar, sweeteners, fats etc BUT with some type of processed protein added. And we'll all pay a lot extra for the 'healthy protein'.
There is an irony to be found in consuming UPF added protein products, because it's normally for a health reason we are choosing these products (conned into thinking we need this protein and believing the 'bar' or powder is good for us). However, if we compare a regular Snickers bar to a protein Snickers bar there's a mind-boggling number of ingredients (20+) in the protein version, versus the 'simpler' regular bar (we'll expand on this in the full blog - soon). And then there's the cost.....We're paying for extra (very cheap) processed protein isolates.
In Summary
Eat whole foods, your body and wallet - and ultimately - your wellbeing will benefit.
