    The average American gets about twice the protein they need.

    Nearly all foods have some protein, so it’s difficult to have a protein deficiency without a calorie deficiency.

    Animal protein comes with cholesterol, which no plant-protein has and people tend to have too much of.

    Plant-based protein from whole food comes with fiber, which people tend to have too little of.
