October 1 is World Vegetarianism Day. The opportunity to take the plunge and permanently eliminate meat from your diet. To avoid deficiencies, it is better to know the right sources of vegetable protein.
That’s it, have you finally decided to take the plunge and ban meat from your diet for good? This is the right day for that, it is precisely the world day of vegetarianism . But before embarking headlong on this diet, it is necessary to respect certain rules so as not to put your body at risk. Commandment number 1: avoid protein deficiencies.
Indeed, it is partly thanks to them that our body is robust and full of energy. Made up of 21 amino acids (including 11 directly synthesized by our body), proteins are provided by food. It is estimated that the necessary amount of protein per day is 0.83g per kilogram of weight, that is to say 50g of protein per day for a person of about 60 kilos. These are the figures recommended by the health authorities, in particular by the PNNS (National Health Nutrition Program).
