Guest guest Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 I don't know if my email is missing something, but a number of foods came through without the protein? (Chickpeas, for example.) And thanks - it is very informative to see the difference between the dry and cooked beans. A cup of dry black beans may be 42 grams, but they can't be eaten in that form. A cup of cooked (absorbed water, many fewer beans in that cup) are only 15. And that's something to remember - most of your WOW notes are uncooked beans. A useful number calculating protein for a whole pot, but you're not getting 42 grams on the plate. Now, I can't eat 2 cups of cooked beans in one meal - so that's where stacking comes. I am willing/able to eat meat, so I'll add a little meat to a pot of beans - a very traditional approach in many cultures and cuisines. Or I'll add cheese, or egg. Or I'll have tofu in another dish at the same meal. Beans alone don't work for me, but I eat them a lot. They let me depend less on the animal protein or soy.

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 Yes, mine came through with those gaps too, and I don't count the protein in oats, flour, or any non dense protein food. Garbanzos are the same as chick peas aren't they? It's good and useful to see that beans do have really good protein levels though. & nbsp;I usually stack mine too.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 I know that sprouting chickpeas / garbonzo beans boosts the protein and makes cooking much faster, i.e. soak for a day or two in water and then drain and let sit for one to three days more, rinsing once or twice a day. This works for all other beans too, though it doesn't take as long. I don't know the protein value of sprouts raw or cooked though. --- On Sat, 4/3/10, Anne F <cityladya wrote: Anne F <cityladya Re: Veggie protein sources Saturday, April 3, 2010, 9:49 AM  I don't know if my email is missing something, but a number of foods came through without the protein?

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 Hi all, I have a veggie protein source question I'm fairly new to the program (a couple months) and joined a few lists recently. Thus far I've just been listening and trying to learn from everyone else. I'm finding things hard as a vegetarian, though. I'm working on step 3 and feel like I'm constantly eating LOTS of food in order to get the right amount of protein--it's kind of exhausting! I love to cook and make lots of soups and bean dishes. Generally for meals I have some combination of beans, eggs, nuts, and cheese or drained yogurt. Occasionally I eat soy, though I can't get tofu, tempeh, or seitan unless I make them, and also try to avoid adding too much soy since I have soy protein powder almost daily in a shake. I was wondering if anyone would mind sharing good protein-rich (and easy!) meal ideas? What do you all tend to do as a fallback meal option? I'd love some new ideas.

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 Hi Gloria, I also use a combination of protein sources at most meals to meet my needs . I find that the variety just helps me stay steady better for some reason. A few quick and easy meal ideas that I like: --black bean soup topped with hard boiled egg, whole grained crackers and veggies on the side --omelet with veggies and cheese, whole grained toast on the side (and yes I eat this for lunch or dinner LOL) --home made quiche with veggies and brown rice on the side (this one is a make ahead and freeze kinda meal) --quesadilla with brown rice tortillas, cheese and either beans or soy chicken strips, veggies on the side --stir fry with soy chicken strips, veggies (i like bok choy, shitake's and colored peppers), peanut oil and ginger over brown rice Hope this helps!

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 I must have had this book when it first came out! While I love sprouted beans and pulses, and am interested in the enzymes etc as well as the rapid cooking, I always make sure I have enough protein from the food as is. I'm not looking for any boosting to get me to what I need.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 Hello! Just butting my virtual head in here, as I've at last found the veggie folk group. I have only loosely been following the PNP principles, but started eating breakfast regularly about a year ago now. I got whacked way off my little hobby horse though, this Christmas season, when I received a 2 lb box of chocolates. I ate them. I ate them all by myself. I must have thought 'jeez, maybe I'm not really that sensitive to sugar, ya know?' I had quit smoking AND drinking even the occasionaly beer/wine in November, so I guess I was feeling pretty healthy. Wull guess what? I don't like that sugar back in my life, but I'm having a dickens of a time getting off it now. So, back to square one, and, I am really wanting to be a vegetarian, but I find myself nosing around, hungry, wanting protein, and, you know, lookin' around, considering a fist-sized hamburger!!!! For breakfast!!!! Aaaaaaaarrrg. SO I'm really liking Heather's list of meals, because I don't really have 'breakfast' food differentiated from other meal food. I like anything for breakfast. So thanks, and I'll be reading over ya'll's shoulders. I do use tempeh quite frequently, and I love beans and nuts, tofu's okay, and I do eat the occasional fish or meat (if the situation calls for me to eat away from home or not me cooking I don't make a big deal of it). I just really am trying to stay on several wagons at once. Thanks! , Heather Butler <hawaiihmb wrote: > > Hi Gloria, I also use a combination of protein sources at most meals to meet my needs .

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 Hi there, I used to eat not breakfast foods for breakfast all the time . Glad there is someone else out there who likes it too LOL. If you having gotten there yet, I also highly recommend the Step One list. They are fabulous at helping people baby step into breakfast. I just made the most amazing quesadilla's for dinner last night using odds and ends I had on hand: brown rice tortillas, shredded cheese, baked acorn squash with cinnamon and cumin, a few slices of apples, and sour cream on top.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 Hi Lynda [guessing your name] It's good to see you here. You don't need to go off sugar right now, or to become totally vegetarian instantly either. For now you just have breakfast every day, within an hour of waking, with enough protein for your body, and a complex carb. What's for breakfast tomorrow?
