3. How do you help athletes manage their protein intake?

As a cycling athlete myself, I understand the importance of proper nutrition for performance and recovery. I specialize in crafting high-protein vegan meal plans using nutrient-rich foods like lentils, tofu, tempeh, quinoa, nuts, seeds, soy curls, and textured vegetable protein (TVP). I also emphasize combining foods to create complete proteins—for example, pairing grains with legumes or seeds for optimal amino acid profiles. Additionally, I recommend fortified options like vegan protein powders to ensure you meet your daily requirements. My approach focuses on fueling workouts, maximizing recovery, and sustaining endurance with plant-powered meals.
