I'm interested in new recipes and especially some ideas for feeding my vegetarian toddler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Welcome to the group! Lentils are a great source of protein (and iron) that I just learned about recently. The fake meats, while some of them can be a little high in calories and salt, are high in protein. One of the things I use a LOT is TVP: http://vegetarian.about.com/od/glossary/g/TVP.htm. It's defatted soy flour, so it's fat free, high in fiber, and higher in protein than lean ground beef. Plus, it's cheaper than any of the processed fake meats, and you add your own seasonings (so not too salty). My favorite ways to use TVP are in tacos and soups and stews. People post cookbook recipes here all of the time -- it's just nice to give credit.

I do like beans but am > easily bored. What am I missing? Don't forget nuts and seeds! They have plenty of fat, but from what I understand, it's a beneficial type of fat, and studies have shown that people who add nuts to their diet (without intentionally subtracting anything) do not gain weight. Throw a few on your salad for extra crunch, flavor, and protein. And there's always tofu....... Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Soy Protein Drink.....I have a protein issue too. Plus I need to lose weight so I can have surgery. Beans.....rip my tummy. Carbs pushes my pain level up. I also have issues with my metabolism.....and I can not do any exercise from my waist down. I can go on and on......I am keeping hope alive. I have to research the group dishes....only because some thing I have never heard of.  Dee/gubby1 in California Let the Sun shine bright on your day.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 There is a lot of protein in peas and of course a lot of foods have protein in it. Just read the box you will see that you are eating more protein than you think. , Alexandra Soltow <pamra wrote: > > > am a little puzzled about what to do about proteins.
