Summary

For years, plant-based eaters have downplayed the importance of focusing on protein, claiming to get plenty without trying.

In this episode, we dive into the details of his approach, including the important question of whether — in terms of convenience and health — the long-term tradeoff of eating more food to build more muscle is worth it.
