Q What suggestions would you have with respect to adequate protein intake for a teenage girl who reports the following: • She never eats any meats or animal derived foods because she is a vegan. On a typical day, she eats : • toast and juice for breakfast • chips, a soda and a piece of fruit for lunch • a small serving of plain pasta with tomato sauce or steamed vegetables for dinner • She takes amino acid supplements because a friend told her that the only way to get amino acids if she doesn’t eat meat is to take them as supplements. • Comment on EACH eating behavior- be respectful of her choice to be a vegan.
