Nutritional differences in plant-based diets vs. meat-eaters

The study compared the nutritional intake and status of individuals following different diets, including normal, omnivore, vegetarian, and vegan diets. It found that proteins were lower in vegetarians and vegans, although still within recommended values. Meat eaters, on the other hand, had lower amounts of fiber, polyunsaturated fatty acids, alpha linoleic acid, folate, vitamin D, vitamin E, calcium, and magnesium. The study suggests that meat eaters should focus on consuming more fiber and vegetables, particularly green leafy vegetables.
