Hey Ripple, I’ve been testing a high‑protein plant‑based regimen to keep my gains while cutting my carbon footprint—do you think it can actually match the performance of animal protein, or are we compromising on something essential?

Absolutely, you can still crush those gains while keeping your footprint low! The trick is mixing a variety of plant proteins—beans, lentils, quinoa, tofu, tempeh, and even hemp or pea protein powder—to hit all the essential amino acids. Make sure you’re getting enough BCAAs and iron, and keep a close eye on your overall calories and micronutrients. With a bit of planning you won’t miss out on anything essential, and you’ll be doing a win‑win for your body and the planet. Keep rocking it!
