As a vegitarian, what can I eat to get protein?
What can i eat for protein and how much?
Answers:
Peanut butter, beans, eggs, and nuts are all good sources of protein. Just eat moderate amounts of each to maintain a healthy diet. Too much of any one food is almost never healthy.
Nuts, beans, green leafy vegetables
peanuts....
beans.....
Soy, and all you want.
beans, tofu, and nuts
Grab some protein powder from GNC or another health food store. Make a shake with it.
Nuts and soybeans are a good source of protien, also try protien powders to add to healthly smoothies or milkshakes.
beans, peanut butter, nuts
Beans are way to go!
Beans, lentils, peanut butter or peanuts, or any kind of nuts, although they should be unsalted. These are all good sources of protein. Also, IF you are willing to eat seafood, there is a lot of protein in most kinds of fish.
soy beans are very rich in proteins.
nuts, beans, seeds, soy products, whole grains
Tofu is a great protien food, also nuts
when you mix beans with rice it increases the protein 10X
peanut butter, bread with a lot of protein in it, check the back.
Um Soy products, the soy meats, the soy protein drinks, peanuts alone are a good source. Cheese. Their are lots of things. I'm going through the same thing right now
U can eat bean, puls, ground nut, and drink milk.
go to your local gnc and get some whey protein powder or soy protien if you are total vegan. this will give you all the protein you need.
above all else... stay healthy!!!
eggs
cheese
tofu
nuts
peanut butter
soy
* Check out the produce dept. of you local grocery store for "meats" and cheeses made from soy.
Red beans and brown rice. All kinds of nuts. Any kind of beans.
Beans, tofu, peanut butter, enriched cereals, eggs & dairy products(unless you're a vegan)
Tofu.. good source of protien!
As a vegitarian I had the same questions but then I found this website which I joined for free and I found sooooooo much good information. The website is called The Fit Chic.... http://www.thefitchic.com/?freegift=1325...
and it really helped change my diet as a vegitarian and it helped me make sure I got all the things I need to keep my body healthy!!! I love this site....
Good Luck. I hope this helps!
Mix some protein poweder into your foods, or milkshakes, but if your a female and not working out, just doing usual sport, be careful not to add to much because you may gain weight, and look rather obeise, if thats how you spell it. Try:
-Mixing it into milkshakes;
-Eating eggs
-Put some protein powder into your peanut butter, but not too much because peanuts are a good source of protein anyway
-A protein bar from the supermarket
A teaspoon should be sufficient, but if you are working out, (and want muscle) then maybe 2 - 3 teaspoons, around a table spoon.
Good Luck,
Be Careful that you dont take too much or not enough, if you start gaining weight you are taking too much.
But it is not healthy to take too little, and you will become lethargic and tired too easily.
Congrats on saving the live stock aswell, you are a very strong willed person.
Love the work :)
vegetarians realize that we need to have at least 20 amino acids for the synthesis of the proteins in our body, we use foods to secure the additional proteins. Thus, the protein provided by a food is classified as either complete or incomplete protein. A food with complete protein provides all of the essential amino acids necessary for the body. Foods that are considered as those with complete proteins include cheese, eggs, fish, and milk. Foods that do not provide all of the essential amino acids contain incomplete protein (plant foods), which include grains, nuts, fruits, and vegetables. Combining both incomplete protein foods with complete protein foods will enable the body to receive the essential amino acids required daily.
While it is beneficial to receive the daily requirements of protein, it is not always beneficial to maintain a high protein diet, since health issues such as excessive stress on kidneys may result. Daily requirements for protein depend on age, medical history and daily diet. However, consumption of 2 or 3 servings of protein rich foods daily provides sufficiently for the needs of most people
Lentils , barley , beans ... you will figure out how much ... also if you eat dairy ... milk , yogurt , cheese have lots of protein ...
good luck on your meat free diet !!!
Meat, Chicken and Turkey is the best. God didn't intend for us to be Vegitarians or Vegans that's why we have incisors and canines.
Meat, of course. Come on, SOMEONE had to say it.
Ok, are you a vegetarian by choice? Or by medical reasons? Either way, see a doctor. No sense gambling with YOUR life...he'll be able to give you dietary cautions, directions, menus.
How far are you? Do you eat cheese? Eggs? Fish? All are good sources of protein.
If you eat no meat at all, or meat byproducts, and really don't know just what makes those plants grow (sunlight ain't the half of it!) then soy products are touted as best. Again, see a doctor/dietician.
If worst comes to worst, don't worry! There is a chance your body won't mind, and will instead eventually start cannabalizing your own muscles and organs. At which point, well, you're most likely going to die. Of course, you'll be fashion model thin...but thats really not attractive any more. Trust me...I hate hugging people and having my lungs punctured by an errant rib.
Which is why you should see a doctor first.
Everything has protein. It's impossible not to get enough unless perhaps you live in a 3rd world country. Whole grain bagels have 9 grams of protein, a cup of beans has roughly 12 grams, broccoli even has it. Trust me, you are getting enough.
Let me add that if you do eat dairy and eggs, you are getting more then enough (which is not a good thing by the way)
Here are charts with foods with protein that are not aniaml derived: http://www.vrg.org/nutrition/protein.htm...
Legumes, tofu, nuts, dairy products... Read labels on the products you buy, they all give the protein content.
There are many resources for protein like Legumes and nuts as to qty you need to check a resource like http://www.mypyramid.gov/ or vegweb.com for dietary and portion guidelines based on your lifestyle and starting weight/age. The trick is to eat enough to fuel your life not slow it down and an over abundance of proteins of any kind can be very hard on your kidneys. You could also ask you Dr to refer you to a dietitian so you can be sure to get all the supplements right too - there are elements of animal proteins that are available in vegetables but harder to process and you need some supplementation to maintain optimal health. Good Luck!
