In terms of meeting your protein requirements on a plant-based diet, if you’re eating a sufficient intake of legumes, whole grains, nuts and seeds, you’re likely consuming enough protein. The DRI (Dietary Reference Intake) is 0.8g per kilogram of body weight. We recommend aiming for a slightly higher intake to ensure you always cover your protein requirements. For strength athletes, they range from 1.6 to 2.2 g per kilogram of body weight per day. The amount of protein you want to aim for in a day will depend on your level of activity and your current goals. It should take into consideration the lower bioavailability of plant protein.
