is it ok to get all your protein from whey powder and veggies?

Veggies are a carb not a protein.

It might be "ok" to get your protein that way, but usually a varied diet is better for the body.

Hi Jes,

Variety is excellent for your health. How about adding some healthy nuts, seeds and beans? There are SO many out there, and they're yummy.

Actually there is protein in vegetables. But I think you should try other sources besides veggies and whey protein because it wouldn't be enough! If you want check out this site for protein in veggies http://www.weightlossforall.com/protein-vegetable.htm ......Carole

Broccoli has a good source of protein in it.

If by "veggies" you include beans and grains, then yes (though they are not "veggies"). Quinoa, tofu, tempeh, seitan, beans and hemp seed are excellent protein sources.
