Protein

• Amino acids link in a variety of sequences to form thousands of different proteins• Essential amino acids cannot be made by the body

in sufficient quantity to meet its needs• Nonessential – body can make • Conditionally essential – when when need exceeds

the body's ability to produce

• Vital structural and working substance in all cells

Protein – A Source of Energy

• Building materials for growth, repair, and maintenance

• Some proteins act as enzymes and hormones

• Regulate fluid balance

• Acid-Base regulator

• Transporters, antibodies

• High Quality Proteins – provide the essential amino acids • Milk, egg, soy, beef

• Digestibility – animal (90-99%), plant (70-90%), soy and legumes (90%)

Protein in Foods

Animal vs. Vegetable?

• Vegan sources generally are easier to digest, have a lower calorie content, higher vitamin/mineral content

• Worldwide: 60% from plant sources

• In North America, 70% from animal sources

• Great source of vegan is legumes or “pulses”

• Vegan sources tend to be less acidic and more kidney friendly (Vernon Young, Peter Pellett (1994). "Plant proteins in relation to human protein and amino acid nutrition" American Journal of Clinical Nutrition)
