Protein is essential to life, giving us energy and the building blocks needed to create muscle and strong bones. While many people think this necessitates eating large quantities of meat, dairy, and eggs, the reality is most American adults are consuming an excess of animal-based proteins. Fortunately, protein is found in just about all foods, including fruits, vegetables, and legumes. By incorporating more nutritious plant-based foods into your diet you won't have to worry about not getting enough protein.
