INSUFFICIENT LEANING

Is it true that Appropriately planned vegan and vegetarian diets provide enough protein for adults?
Unclear. Several peer-reviewed sources indicate that appropriately planned vegan and vegetarian diets are considered nutritionally adequate for all life stages, and one modeling study found adult vegan and ovo-vegetarian menus met macronutrient ranges. However, these items address overall nutritional adequacy or micronutrients rather than specifically establishing protein sufficiency for adults.
