Your body uses protein to repair and build muscle mass after a tough strength workout. Protein also helps maintain and repair/replenish skin, bones, teeth, hair and other body structures. So, it is a vital macronutrient (fats and carbohydrates are the others).
The three macronutrients and other processes help keep your body in an anabolic state, which aids muscle building.
There are two groups of proteins that you should be aware of: complete and incomplete proteins. Your body needs complete proteins found only in foods originating from animals. Examples are eggs (eat the whole egg), chicken, turkey, red meat, milk and other dairy products. Vegans will need to combine non-meat protein sources to get complete proteins.

What are the possible risks of becoming a vegan?
The associated risks of being vegan include possibly Vitamin B12 deficiency, some types of seaweed contain this vitamin. Also, proteins are found in both animal and plant foods. Proteins are made up of building blocks called ‘amino acids’. There are 9 essential amino acids required to be a complete protein. In general, most meats contain the 9 ‘complete’ proteins and plant food contain ‘incomplete’ proteins. By combining plant food together in a meal (or over over the course of a day) you can easily obtain complete proteins from vegetables and grains. E.g. beans and corn eaten together equates to a complete protein dish. Beans and rice eaten together also prove to be a complete protein.
