Guest guest Posted April 4, 2002 Report Share Posted April 4, 2002 WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR PROTEIN? It's easier than you might imagine to get plenty of protein from vegetarian foods. If you include dairy products and eggs into your regimen, look no further. These are a rich source of protein. Seek out low-fat or non-fat dairy products to avoid excessive saturated fats. In a diet consisting solely of plant based foods, protein abounds in whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds. In the legume family, the soybean ranks highest in its protein content. Products made from soy are usually high in protein, with the exception of soy sauce. Read labels on packages of tofu and veggie meats for the surprising amount of protein these contain. Try some tempeh, made from fermented soy beans. Even fruits and vegetables contain some protein. Be sure to include a wide variety of foods throughout the day with the assurance that these will provide you with more than adequate protein. When you sprinkle a few nuts or some garbanzo beans over a salad, you are adding protein. _______________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
