protein sources

[Guest guest]

Agustina,

 

Right, Brown Rice is a Brown. Your protein sources garbanzo's and lentils sound

really

good and there are so many ways to make them taste good, which are lots of fun

too.

 

Could you provide a little more detail about soy products from Buenos Aires,

sounds

interesting?

lentils (my favorite! I just love lentil soup in winter and lentil salad when

warmer). I also found some very good whey protein powder. I try to avoid soy,

since I am

not very sure what I'm putting into my body when I eat it.

Yeah that sounds good. I've done that, combine proteins like chicken and

cheese. So I

could eat beans and rice, with ezekial bread as my carb? And the beans and rice

would be

the protein?

Thanks for the links on protein! I am never worried about protein

for my self, as I know there is enough in most other foods besides

meat. I am more concerned for my son as I read infants and children

need more protein than adults since they are growing so rapidly. So

its great to be aware of the higher protein options for him.
