Hey Valya, I’ve been crunching the data on plant‑based proteins, and I’m curious—can a vegan diet meet the protein needs of a marathon runner without the carbon footprint of meat?
Absolutely, you can hit those protein targets without the carbon blast of meat. Think beans, lentils, chickpeas, quinoa, hemp, spirulina, and a bit of nuts or seeds. Mix them up, pair with veggies, and you’ll get the amino‑acid balance you need for miles. Just keep track of the calories, stay hydrated, and the planet will thank you.
