What Do We Count As Protein


I know this question will come up again. Why is it we don't count milk and grain protein? Think of a protein continuum like the carbohydrate continuum. You know that dense veggies are way better for you than Wonder Bread, yes? The protein thing is similar. We want DENSE proteins. We are trying to restore your body, heal your brain, so we are shooting for efficiency.

And yep, the vegetarians count everything, LOL.

You might ask what is that about? Why do they get different rules? It is simply a pragmatic response to their reality. Dense is best.
