there is a common misconception about things like
protein and calcium. on average, americans over-consume
protein by 2-3 times the necessary amount. protein is readily available to vegans through beans (especially soy beans) and other legumes/lentils, nuts, peanut butter, oatmeal, tofu, peas, wheat flour, and almost all vegetables have somewhere between 1-5 grams of protein. the list goes on and on. for calcium, the darker green, the better.
