                                While animal protein is often more readily absorbed, the idea that a single vegetable is equal to meat is a common misconception. Instead of a one-to-one replacement, a balanced vegetarian or vegan **nutrition diet** relies on combining various high-protein plant foods to obtain a complete and comparable nutritional profile to meat.
