A member asked:
Gave up eating beef, for reasons that vary between the cruelty factor and health benefits. will i get enough protein from turkey and chicken?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Plenty: Yes, turkey and chicken provide roughly the same amount of protein as beef. One can also get plenty of protein from seafood, eggs, dairy, beans, nuts and seeds as well. There is no nutritional need to get protein from red meat.
