Guest guest Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 Hello everyone, I am wondering how I can meet my protein needs from legumes? I need about 22 grams of protein. I find that I would have to eat a lot of beans (at least 1 1/2 cups) plus my browns on top of that. I am a big veggie eater and I find with the beans and the browns there is not much room left for the veggies. Do I have to combine the beans with an additional brown, or would just the beans be enough? If I eat lentils, I like to eat some rice or millet with it. I also eat tofu, but try to limit it to one serving per day. Since I am on an almost vegan diet, the other meals have to be with legumes. Does anybody have any suggestions on alternative protein sources or how other members eat their beans? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a problem for me, Christine, when I first started these steps even though I do eat eggs, dairy and fish! I need 27 grams of protein per meal. What has been good is working in the George's Shake with Soy Milk and Soy Protein Powder for one of my meals. There are many variation suggestions posted here if you go back and look at Shake headings. This has been much more protein than I am used to eating but it keeps you from being hungry. You can throw the protein powder into soups too. Janice > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 My favorite source of vegan protein would be seitan. I adore White Wave Chicken Style Meat of Wheat. It is as protein-dense as chicken and is easy to use in recipes. , " Christine " <cheinema wrote: > > Does anybody have any suggestions on alternative protein sources or how > other members eat their beans?

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 Throw the stew chunks into a stew or chili. It just needs a few minutes to soak up some liquid. I've never used the strips, but I'll bet you could rehydrate them (if they're dry); coat them with some whole wheat bread crumbs, parmesan, and egg/oil; and bake them into TVP fingers. , " Patricia Adams " <pattymel wrote: > > > ----- Hi, Does anyone have any ideas on how to use chunk TVP.

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 Christine, I'm realizing this question was never answered. In short, you would eat the beans with an additional brown. Or you could combine protein sources (like tofu and lentils for example) I know there are lots of sources of protein within the legume family. Perhaps some more experienced vegetarians can help with suggestions Also, you say and almost vegan diet, what do you mean? It can be really hard to get enough protein without dairy and eggs as sources in your diet, though it can be done.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Thanks so much for this Heather ! I was getting confused about pulses ! I am in UK and if I use a tin the labelling is per 100g by weight. (100g = approx 4 oz by weight ) And a tin usually 250g weight..... well it was never easy for a mathematically challenged one! I had to think each and every time. So much easier to just chuck in my measuring cup and count 7g. * goes off happily to make lentils and cottage cheese for lunch* , " Butler, Heather " <hbutler wrote: > > Vegetarian Protein Sources > > 31 gr.
