Day 87: Protein

Now that I got that off of my chest, I could look forward to the remaining 278 days to come!

In an attempt to focus on my nutritional deficiencies in the 5%-10% of cooked food that I have set to consume per day, I started looking for some vegan alternatives for my deficiencies.

My main focus for now will be Protein. Despite several arguments, it's very easy to meet the protein recommendations per day without consuming animal products. According to the RDA, a person should have 0.8 grams of protein for every kilogram that he/she weighs.

I haven't consumed the RDA requirement yet but I did have a cup of oatmeal which is equivalent to 6 grams of protein (not close to enough).

Here's a list* of other vegan alternatives I could have, most of which have to be cooked to consume:
