"We have all these new plant-based foods in the marketplace, but [in terms of protein], they’re not all created equal," explains Bonci. Take milk, for example: One cup of 1% cow’s milk contains about 8.5 grams of protein, while a cup of almond milk only contains just 1 gram.—meaning they’re short on at least one of the nine essential amino acids that can be found in animal foods like meat, seafood, and eggs.
And there’s more to it than just meeting your macros. You should also be eating protein at the right time, too."The body is most happy when it’s getting some protein every four to five hours," says Bonci.You’re prone to stress fractures When we aren’t getting enough protein to fuel our organs and brain, our bodies borrow from other areas, including the storages in our skeletal muscle tissue, says Bonci. Without the support of strong skeletal muscle tissue, our bones are more susceptible to injures like fractures and breaks.Your hair and nails look brittle
