A guy in Sheffield makes/made energy bars made from Cricket powder and gave us a load to 'test'. It was pretty much unanimous that they tasted awful.
about 1.5 to 2 grams for active folk. Very hard to achieve on a vegan diet.

That's why Ondra is so crap at climbing, and why Carl Lewi had such an awful 1991.Seriously.
There are an awful lot of vegan body builders on Instagram who are either lying or are not struggling to make gains with a lot less protein than that.

Anyway, it may be hard to eat 2g/kg of protein on a vegan diet but where so these numbers come from? I’m suspicious that there is a marketing agenda behind a lot of what we take as read. There are an awful lot of vegan body builders on Instagram who are either lying or are not struggling to make gains with a lot less protein than that. As climbers gaining a load of weight isn’t the aim, so surely we don’t need as much protein as a body builder?
So this is if you are replacing carbs as a fuel source with protein?
I’ve been using vegan protein powder from MyProtein for the past couple of months, mainly because my wife bought a massive pack and then decided she doesn’t like it.

Lewis was juiced up to the gills.

Well, as I carry on through my fourth decade of being vegan, I guess I'm going to find out.
