Food is a very common source of protein. You might want to try it.http://www.veganhealth.org/articles/prot…
Bread, pasta, cereal, rice, beans, peas, lentils, nuts, seeds, fruits and veggies can easily offer everything that you need except B12.http://www.veganhealth.org/shhttp://www.pcrm.org/health/veginfo
All vegetarians should take a B12 supplement regularly since most people eat meat, dairy AND fortified cereals yet still have a B12 status that is lower than recommended.http://www.veganhealth.org/articles/b12
It may help you if you see proof that vegetarians have the same potential as anyone else.http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/sto…http://www.veganbodybuilding.com/phpBB2/…http://www.veganbodybuilding.com/phpBB2/…http://www.macdanzig.net/bio.phphttp://www.scottjurek.com/career.php
If you need meat or dairy during any stage of your life or to live any certain lifestyle, why does the American Dietetic Association say otherwise?http://www.eatright.org/cps/rde/xchg/ada…
Protein hasn’t been a concern in vegetarian diets for at least 20 years now. I guess the questions come from hearing about the high protein diets, which aren’t healthy. Most Americans get too much protein.
If you eat a variety of whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, you should be getting enough protein. If I feel like I need an extra kick, I make sure I have beans, a handful of nuts, or a vegan chikn sandwich or something once in awhile. I did drink protein shakes in the beginning but haven’t recently.
There’s always the obvious solution of taking protein vitamins. Protein shakes are kinda gross, but if their a last resort, well, their a last resort. Fish is good, and so are nuts, milk, even soy milk, eggs, peanut butter (yum) beans, tofu, and seeds. Also reading the food labels on food to see weather the number is higher, it should be 6-10g or more. I’m a vegetarian, so, if i know how you feel. Save the animals!
you don’t need a protein supplement.
veggies and fruits in general run about 3 to 12 grams of protein…
that’s 3,000 mg or 12,000 mg of protein per serving.
i wish people would stop this protein myth once and for all.. if there was no protein in fruits and veggies… there would be no vegetarianism.
protein supplements aren’t soluable anyways.. just like with meat.. meat eaters have difficulty with digestion and cholesterol because of this.
just eat your fresh fruits and veggies and if you’re scared to death of a protein shortage in a vegetarian diet.. eat beans.. they’re monsters in protein.
beans
eggs
soy products (cheese/ yogurt)
protein shakes
nuts
cottage cheese
pseudo grains (quino/ amaranth)
dark green veggies, also carrots, pumpkin, banana
most green veggies have the protein and iron one needs.. Red ones like beets have more iron!
Beans, nuts (try peanut butter), and soy products. If you aren’t vegan, you can also get protein from dairy products.
Textured vegetable protein (TVP) is one. Quinoa is another.
Beans.
Try the spicy blackbean veggie burger by Morningstar.
It’s delicious, and has a decent amount of protein
nuts, eggs, milk, tofu, legumes, and tofu.
beans and green vegetables have iron that you can lackas a veg too.
tofu you can eat it in just about everything
vegetables, nuts, seeds, soymilk, some fruits.
Protein is in every living thing, from plants to animals to whatever… All you have to do it eat.
tofu
chickpeas
mixed beans
soy milk
there are so many!
i would be more concerned about b12 and calcium
Peanut butter….. YUM!!!!!!!!
I can eat it right off a spoon!
I would have to go with peanut butter or veggie patties… Mmm…
