How do i get 100g of protein on a vege diet.?!
How do i get 100g of protein on a vege diet.?
I've posted recently about having a good diet and training a lot, but always feeling low energy and fatigued. to the point i have just recently tried meat again for the first time in 10 years (it was ok....eating animals is kind of weird to me thou) and am not that keen to go back if i can avoid it.
with my weight and amount of training i need 100g-120g of protein a day.
without soy ( the eastrogen thing, and its mostly processed garbage) how do i get that much protein from a vegetarian diet...(i eat dairy but not fish) ?
i dont want to eat meat, but eating that much protien in lentils and quinoa a day is too bloating and carb heavy.
thanks for any advice.

beans are really good for protein, but to get 100g plus of protein you have to eat half a kilo of beans...thats a lot of beans. also it means double the amount of reccomended carbs.

oh...and eggs are great too i agree, but 6g of protein per egg is nothing really in relation to this.
and soy is bad...say no. soy burgers are processed garbage.

greeghost .you are wrong. you can find plenty of information if you look that a good amount of protien is .8g per kilo. if you are training then 1.2 to 1.5 is common and beneficial to your increased needs. i weigh 80kilos so 100g of protein is a realistic target.
besides, that wasnt even my question. my question was how would people suggest getting that amount from a vege diet.

You have just totally confounded me! 100+grams of protein a day??? I just ran the DV charts and that would put you at around 7ft tall and 300lbs! Are you really attempting to get around 4000 calories a day? The only other reference I can find to needing this much protein is in patients with severe burns. Oops! I just figured out you asked the question earlier about how to get protein without eating animals and having a lack of energy..
Where are you getting this info? From a doctor or certified dietitian or nutritionist? Or is it from a coach or insane website like mercola's? Your info about soy being processed garbage and having estrogen is just plain, flat-out wrong! I dealt with that in someone Else's question earlier but there are NO hormones in soy! If you're worried about hormones in food you'd be wise to avoid meat and dairy since those DO have real hormones!
If protein calories exceed one tenth of your total calorie consumption you will be tired and have low energy since it takes a lot of work for your body to process all that into amino acids!
Go to a real medical doctor that has has more than the typical one hour training in nutrition and have him run blood and urine tests. He should be testing your blood for amino acid levels along with testing your vitamin levels etc. He should be testing your urine for levels of calcium amides since your body dumps extra amino acids (i.e. protein) by binding the excess to calcium so the kidneys can filter it out.
A dietitian could suggest a healthy meal plan that provides a correct level of protein but if you *really* want to get that much protein despite the health risks (like osteoporosis) you could eat 200 grams of Spirulina daily.
Please see a doctor and/or certified dietitian!
Edit:
I DID give you a source of non-soy, high-quality, high-density protein with the suggestion of spirulina; you could also look up Chorella. Another non-soy healthy protein source is potato which is also a source of healthy complex carbohydrates and low calorie, as long as you don't abuse them with fatty sauces. To get 100grams of protein with potato you'd only need to consume about 1000 potato calories!
The literature you refer to with those HIGH recommendations for protein are based on the theories of one sports doctor that did not have much training in nutrition! His theories were disproved quite some time ago, and nutritionists that are knowledgeable about current research know that it's better to measure protein needs on a caloric basis instead of the (now discredited) body mass basis. Athletes automatically will increase protein consumption as their calories increase so the 10% ratio still provides MORE than adequate protein!
In your questions additional details you state that you are "always feeling low energy and fatigued". That gets to the *gist* of what all your recent questions are about, how to get rid of the lethargy you feel. Change your diet to 10% protein calories, 25% fat calories and 65% carbohydrate calories and the lethargy will stop! I just saw the other question you asked "How do vegetarians feel about soy?" and see where you've been getting the misinformation from! I'll tackle that question in a few minutes.
Please see a certified nutritionist, dietician or knowledgeable doctor and stop listening to insane websites! If you follow the unhealthy advice from these websites you'll end up with kidney disease, bone disease and circulatory disease in a few decades.

There's a fair amount of protein in beans. Of course, you must be careful to consider "complete proteins" in the same meal. One way to do that is to combine legumes with whole grains. You know this already from your mention of lentils and quinoa. But there are other beans and grains to consider. Without meat, you need carbs to get the protein. A little cheese and some eggs would help.
Beans, lentils, nuts, barley, couscous, even peanut butter... If you're eating fish and eggs, then they're great sources of protein. Some cheeses have a lot of protein in them, too.
Try eating beans, peanut butter, and nuts. They are good sources of protein.
No fish huh? that's unfortunate because it's a good way and it has good amino acids. Other sea food could be good such as shellfish. Beans are bloating so i suggest nuts. they are high in protien. I'm sure you could online search something about high protien foods. Dairy, that's good, eat eggs.
Hit Mothers or Trader Joe's.
They have a wide variety of protein bars, supplements, shakes, etc. The I picked up a good shake at TJ's that had only 110 cal and 21 g protein.
try morningstar farms. it's a really good brand of soy products that taste good and there are also many different choices. it looks like meat, but isn't. it has your protein too.
I Workout also, And i've found that protein drinks usually have about 40g of protein per bottle. just drink before a workout. After a workout. and even during the workout a suppose and the rest af the protien could come from things you eat normally.
Although protein is an essential nutrient, some research suggests that too much protein can increase the risk of developing heart disease, stroke, kidney stones and osteoporosis.
High Protein Foods is an online database with protein information on more than 6000 foods. Whether you're pursuing a high protein diet or trying to limit your protein intake, High Protein Foods will help you identify how much protein is in the foods you eat.:

Maybe you should ask your doctor a see a nutritionist? That much protein doesn't seem healthy to me...too much protein can cause kidney problems.
How do you not get 100g of protein on a vege diet.? Hehehe he.
If you eat 4-6 small meals a day it won't be as bloating.
I only eat soy 2 days a week, so I discovered Rice powder and Pea powder. That'd do it, if you really need that much.
Remember to take extra calcium to prevent calcium deficiency.
