What are the best sources of protein for vegetarian?

[Guest guest]

My daughter just had ACL surgery and was told she needed lots of protein for

it to heal quickly. She is a vegetarian (most of the time). The physical

therapist suggested Whey shakes. Would it be best for her to just eat meat for

a

few months, drink whey shakes, or eat nuts, legumes, beans and cheese?

 

Thanks for any suggestions on a proper diet for a quick recovery.

don't forget about quinoa, sea greens, and hempseeds, which are all sources

of good-quality veg protein. IMO, whey (and really anything isolated from a

whole food) is extremely hard on the body and not ideal for a healing diet.

The last poster wrote " Drink Aloe Vera Regularly " . Well, I tried

about a month ago and didn't have such good results. It feels and

smells like I'm still metabolizing it through my skin and even can

taste it at times. Any such reactions from anyone?

I use freeze dried aloe vera root extract. It comes in capsules or in

powder form. I purchase mine through Mannatech.

I originally started the " Ambrotose " for Lupus. That was 16 years

ago. I live symptom free still to this day.

Aloe Vera may produce ill effects if taken progressively for more

than a week or two. For this reason it should only be used under the close

supervision of a natural health professional!!

This table shows the amount of protein in various vegan foods in addition to the

number of grams of protein per 100 calories. To meet protein

recommendations, the typical adult male vegan needs only 2.2 to 2.7

grams of protein per 100 calories and the typical adult female vegan

needs only 2.3 to 2.9 grams of protein per 100 calories. These

recommendations can be easily met from vegan sources.

 

Protein Content of Selected Vegan Foods

 

FOOD AMOUNT PROTEIN PROTEIN

Tempeh 1 cup 31 9.5

Seitan 4 ounces 15-31 21.4-22.1

1998and manufacturers' information.

 

The recommendation for protein for adult male vegans is around

63-79 grams per day; for adult female vegans it is around 50-63

grams per day.

 

It is very easy for a vegan diet to meet the recommendations for

protein. Nearly all vegetables, beans, grains, nuts, and seeds

contain some, and often much, protein.

 

Fruits, sugars, fats, and alcohol do not provide much protein, so a

diet based only on these foods would have a good chance of being too

low in protein.

However, not many vegans we know live on only bananas,candy,

margarine,and beer.

 

Vegans eating varied diets containing vegetables, beans, grains,

nuts,and seeds rarely have any difficulty getting enough protein as

long as their diet contains enough energy (calories) to maintain

weight.

Goat and sheep whey are unique products with high nutritional

qualities containing considerably more short chain fatty acids, more

protein, more calcium and more vitamins than bovine fluid. It is

recognized by many as non allergenic.

 

Ovine whey contains more b -lactoglobulin ( b -LG) and less

serum albumin (SA) and immunoglobulins (IgG) as a percentage of

total whey protein than bovine whey (table 9).

There is as much a -

Lactalbumin ( a -LA) in ovine whey than in bovine whey but

significantly less than in caprine whey.

 

Ovine whey protein concentrate (WPC) has a better foam overrun, foam

stability and gel strength than bovine or caprine WPCs (Casper et

It is an outstanding product for the manufacture of yogurts and

cheeses giving a cheese yield twice as high as that of cow's milk.

 

Sheep's milk has some unique nutritional qualities

used in specific markets. It is richer in vitamins A, B and E,

calcium, phosphorous, potassium and magnesium than cow's milk.

 

Sheep's milk contains 1.08-1.44% whey proteins while cow's milk

contains only 0.54-0.88%. It is also richer in C4-C12 fatty acids.

 

Sheep's milk provides some relief for allergy sufferers who cannot

tolerate cow's milk proteins. In spite of the added nutritional

qualities, only small quantities of sheep's milk are consumed as

fluid milk. In Spain, 7.2% of the sheep's milk is consumed as fluid

milk.

Moreover, with the high solid

content of sheep's milk, it is more readily accepted for

manufacturing of semi-solid or hard dairy products, e.g. yogurt or

cheese. However, in Great Britain, a large portion of the sheep's

milk production is consumed as fluid milk. The milk is then

generally frozen and sold to health food stores.

 

Although cows have replaced sheep as dairy animals because of their

higher production potential, sheep dairying remains a strong and

viable enterprise. Nowadays sheep dairy products (cheese, yogurt,

ice cream) are particularly in demand because of their rich flavor

and their exceptional nutritive value.

 

Anyone who has tasted the famous Roquefort, the hard Pecorino

Romano, the softer Pecorino Sardo, the melting Manchego, the tender

Ossau-Iraty or the salty Feta, wants to have more than just a taste.

In addition, for the

master cheese maker, sheep's milk is a dream come true because of

its composition and cheese making properties.

 

The most famous sheep milk cheeses produced in the world are listed

below:

 

White fresh cheeses

 

Burgos (Spain)

 

Villalon (Spain)

 

Cachat (France)

 

Perail (France)

 

 

 

A nice sheep milk cheese display in Scotland

 

Brined cheeses

 

Feta (Greece, Italy, France)

 

Teleme (Romania)

 

Sirene (Bulgaria)

 

Halloumi (Cyprus)

 

Hard and semi-hard cheeses

 

Pecorino Romano, Sardo, Siciliano, Toscano (Italy)

 

Kefalotyri (Greece)

 

Idiezabal (Spain)

 

Manchego (Spain)

 

Roncal (Spain)

 

Ossau-Iraty (France)

 

 

 

Blue-veined cheeses

 

Roquefort (France)

 

Cabrales (Spain)

 

Stretched curd cheeses

 

Kashkaval (Bulgaria/Romania/Macedonia)

 

Kaseri (Greece)

 

Whey cheeses

 

Ricotta (Italy)

 

Manouri (Greece)

 

Requeson (Spain)

 

Broccio (Corsica-France)

problem
