Protein sources

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

 

Would anyone know of some vegan websites that have an extensive list of

the protein in various foods, including vegetables/greens? I've only

seen a couple of sites and they only listed the high-protein foods such

as tofu, tvp, tsp, lentils, etc. I'm wanting to know the different

amounts of protein in various foods so that I can calculate when meal

planning, how much protein we are getting each day. I can live with

much less protein than my dh, but for him, it's important that I make

meals with enough protein or else he tends to snack too much on sugar

and sweets. I'm going by the 0.4g per body weight calculation, and

although this may be more than what some people even need, my dh is slim

 

and doesn't gain weight easily, and also works 12 hr physical labour

shifts, so he feels he needs more or at least that much.

 

If I can include lots of protein in our diets, I think it will help him

change over to the vegan/strict vegetarian (or whatever you want to

label it! ;-) ) lifestyle.

 

Thanks very much,

Rhonda

P.S. Don't worry, I am trying to incorporate more tofu into our diets

since I'm aware that will help cover our protein requirements, but need

listing for greens too, since lots of concentrated protein alone is not

balanced and not a good thing! He does love my lentil burgers, probably

 

because they are more balanced (with the grain/bun) and makes him feel

more satisfied.
