What is the easiet source of proteins for a vegetarian? |
What do you think is the easiest and abundant source of proteins in a daily diet for a vegetarian? Name more number of items though. You need about 50 grams of protein per day, more if you're active. I usually have to get my protein on the go since I'm a flight attendant, so here's what I do: Luna Bars: delicious and about 8-10 grams per bar, Health Valley Black Bean and Lentil Soups (these are lower in sodium than most pre-made soups) and have 12 grams of protein per bowl- the to go soups not the canned ones; Progresso Lentil Soup has a lot of protein in it. Its wonderful but high in sodium. I munch on walnuts, almonds, and cashews throughout the day and a serving is usually 1/4 cup and has on average 5 grams of protein. Hummus is my favorite food and its made with chickpeas/garbanzo beans which not only have lots of protein but also vitamin b12. I add GenSoy Protein powder to my oatmeal in the morning b/c I don't like the shakes or have the equipment when I'm out of town to do so. If you go out to eat, you'll have more luck finding protein rich, vegan foods at ethnic places. I get Channa masala (a chickpea dish) at Indian places, coconut curry with tofu at Thai places, and Bean Curd dishes at Chinese restaurants (although if you get the bean-curd steamed without the sauce or sauce on the side its healthier). It sounds like a lot to do, but I have so much energy when I get enough protein and its not that hard to include these things. Good Luck and Happy Tofurky Day! Your body...it combines the amino acids from various foods to create the proteins needed for maintanence and growth. Beans and rice, cheese and vegetables, fruits and grains...just keep feeding the machine! protein tablets Eggs 1. Beans, beans: good for your heart. The more you eat, the more you fart. pulses ('dal') Soya beans, cereal: grains, oats, pumpkin, other beans: Lentils, chick peas etc. Note Fruit is most important than anything else. Fruit has some similar enzymes in it that meat has and these enzymes are not in vegetables. No Chlorestrol from fruit and no animals dieing. Beans are a great source of protein, just remember to eat some rice with them to complete the protein chain. Beans on their on are an incomplete protein and therefore not as useful to your body Beans and peanuts are both good scources of protein.Tofu is another good source. Soy products, especially tofu, contain the highest amount. MYTH: "Vegetarians get little protein." beans. beans MEAT!! eat a steak come on you know you want one |
