I disagree - I have a B.S. in Sport and Exercise Science, Certification in Sports Nutrition, and I am a competitive powerlifter. My strength has all come from a plant based diet. If you claim there is no protein in plant based foods then you are admitting you are not knowledgable in what's in your food. There are two distinctions that need to be made here - Vegan and plant based diets. Vegan is a way of living - it includes home products, clothing, and food. You can easily eat pasta and chips and be considered a vegan. There will be no gains made with that diet! A plant based diet, is a diet consisted from anything you can grow. Tofu has 24g of protein, almonds 6-8g, lentils 12-15g, chia seeds 6-8g, 2 servings of broccoli or kale is 6-9g and so on. A plant based diet is a great diet for any athlete. Don't believe me - check out Torre Washington, John Lewis, and Ed Bauer. The fitness industry is full of big companies trying to push protein because there is a lot of money in it. Studies are coming out now that animal protein will actually turn on triggers for cancer. Do you research and have an open mind. Just because the bro next to you said it, does not make it true #plantbaseddietsalltheway
