Animal proteins have long been favored over their plant protein counterparts. Animal proteins have more satiety, due to their higher fat content and then are often complete proteins in themselves and do not need to be complimented. This was an excellent way to maintain a good metabolism and appropriate amount of fat and calories when food was less abundant. Today, with food so abundant it is easy to consume the right compliment of plant proteins to get a complete protein. Eating animal proteins can increase the amount of insulin like growth factor 1, contributing to infertility and poor ovulation. So substitute a few animal based proteins a week for eggs, legumes, or soy.
