Energy and Nutrient Profiles When Asians Transit From a Meat-based to a Plant-based Diet: A Modelling Exercise

The hypothesis of our study is to understand if any positive or detrimental effects on nutrition and health will ensue, when people replace a meat-based diet with plant-based and alternative protein substitutes.
