I'm a new vegan. how often should i eat complete proteins (all amino acids) such as quinoa? i'm noticing that hair is falling out faster than before.

See below: For vegans it is easy to fall short on protein consumption. The more rich the protein the better. For a woman you age that is around 50 grams/day (more during pregnancy).
