New member/ protein question

[Guest guest]

Hi

 

I am a caregiver at home for a person with kidney failure who requires 5 ounces

of protein daily.

 

Beans, lentils, nuts and seeds are forbidden due to high potassium content. Is

a vegetarian diet possible in this case? This person is also diabetic and can

not eat large volumes of food.

Hi

 

Beans, lentils, nuts, seeds and tofu, tempeh etc. are all good sources of

protein. Rice, bread etc. also contain fair amounts of protein. It is hard to

go short on protein if you are eating enough calories.

Hi: Vegetarianism is " in " now as never before. Can anyone advise

me as to sources of high quality protein vegetablewise? Please go

easy on beans!
