Plant-Protein Diversity Is Critical to Ensuring the Nutritional Adequacy of Diets When Replacing Animal With Plant Protein: Observed and Modeled Diets of French Adults (INCA3)

There is a current trend in Western countries toward increasing the intake of plant protein. A higher plant-protein intake has been associated with nutritional and health benefits, but these may depend on the pattern of plant-protein sources.We hypothesized that the diversity of plant foods could be important to nutrient adequacy when increasing plant-protein intake in the diet.Using data on 1341 adults (aged 18-64 y) from a representative...
