Here’s what to expect from this episode:

Do you need some help meeting your protein targets while on a plant-based diet? I am joined by Samara, a vegetarian macro coach, to share all her tips and tricks for making sure she hits her protein targets.

In this episode, we discuss a wide range of protein options for those who do not eat meat, the hierarchy of proteins, and how we should consider plant-based proteins when planning our meals. 

So whether you are vegetarian, vegan, pescatarian, or just curious, this episode has something for you. Join us as we explore actionable tips to help those of you who are looking for more plant-based protein options and how to include those in your diet.

Meet Samara: 

Samara is a Macro Coach and has been a vegetarian for over 20 years, and has learned how to properly nourish her body on a plant-forward diet through a lot of trial and error. She now shares what she has learned along the way to those wanting to feel their absolute best while being plant-based.

Samara loves educating people on the options of plant-based proteins. She feels people just equate protein with meat, and giving them more variety in their options really makes getting high protein goals less overwhelming. Her goal is not trying to convince people to become plant-based, but with all the evidence of fiber and plant diversity being so good for us, her hope is that more people will understand the abundance of options available and be more open to incorporating more plant-based proteins and foods.

Topics covered on navigating macros with a plant-based diet: 

• The staple proteins you should always have on hand to make meeting your protein targets a breeze
• Understanding the hierarchy of plant-based proteins and how to prioritize them in your diet (because not all the sources are created equal)
• How to increase your protein intake gradually and over time 
• The importance of building meals around proteins with the majority of their calories from protein
