FUN FACTS
- broccoli has 8g protein per 300grams.
- there is a protein named after Pikachu (pokemon character) called Pikachurin.
- the lifespan of most proteins is two days or less
- the fish that is highest in protein is the Yellowfin Tuna (30g protein per 100g).

MISINFORMATION
- you don't get enough protein if you're vegetarian or vegan: as long as you take enough incomplete proteins to make them complete,  your body will get its nine essential amino acids, thus can be done on a plant-based diet.
- the more protein you intake, the more beneficial: no, because your body can only take in 25-30g of protein at a time, thus eating a meal that is high in protein doesn't necessarily mean your body is utilizing all of it.
