Eating High Protein on a Plant Based Diet with Sophie Waplington

Eating High Protein on a Plant Based Diet with Sophie Waplington

Today I’m joined by personal trainer Sophie Waplington to break down one of the biggest concerns for plant-based eaters: getting enough protein and maintaining strength.


We tackle common fears around plant-based eating, including:


🥩 "Am I getting enough protein without meat?"

💪 "Will I lose muscle if I switch to a plant-predominant diet?"

💰 "Is plant-based eating too expensive or complicated?"


Together, we explore the science of protein quality, practical meal-building tips, and effective training strategies to support muscle health and strength.


We discuss:

  • Complete proteins & amino acid profiles
  • PDCAAS & DIAAS scores – Are these metrics actually useful?
  • The leucine threshold & muscle gain – Is it harder to reach with plant-based protein?
  • Protein layering – The best plant-based combos for a complete amino acid profile
  • How much protein per meal? – Ideal targets and what it looks like on a plate


🏋️‍♀️ Resistance Training & Muscle Strength

  • Why strength training is essential for overall health
  • Pre- and post-workout nutrition on a plant-based diet
  • Does protein timing really matter for muscle gain?


🍽️ What Does This Look Like in Real Life?

  • How to start increasing protein intake on a plant-based diet
  • Common mistakes when transitioning to plant protein
  • How to add more protein to meals like pasta, curries, and stir-fries
