Answer 2

The important thing is to efficiently combine vegetable source proteins in such a way as to maximize their effectiveness. The problem is that protein is made up of 9 critical amino acids. The absence of any 1 or more, weakens the effectiveness of the protein. Meat , or more accurately, animal source, has a complete set of amino acids. Veggys are absent a few, but not absent the same ones. By combining certain high protein veggies, each vegetable's amino acid content compliments the lack in the other. Vegetables can be grouped into 1 of 3 types in this regard. 1) The legumes: beans, peas, lentils, peanuts (Note : peanuts are not a true nut, they are legumes, more closely related to beans) 2) The grains, seeds and nuts: Wheat(and flour,pasta,bread), barley, oats, sunflower seeds, almonds, walnuts, pecans, hazel nuts(all nuts) 3) Special category: Rice and corn Now the trick is to combine at least 1 item each from at least 2 groups. For example, bread and peanut butter make up a complete protein since bread is from group 1) and peanut butter is from group 2). Other good and well known combinations are rice & beans, corn and beans, mixed nuts with peanuts. Also, if you don't need to be a pure vegetarian about it, mix a little animal source with any 1 group and it completes the protein. A lot of beans with a little bit of ground beef, keeps the cholesterol low and stretches the beef. Another hint is that the cholesterol in eggs comes from the yolk. The white is almost pure protein, and only 5 calories per gram of protein, and it completes the protein of the veggys. If your regimen allows dairy products, non-fat cottage cheese and yogurt are excellent sources for your requirements.

Answer 3

Peanut Butter, Eggs, Cheese, Milk, Anchovies, Tofu, Soy Milk, Protein Energy Bars, Amino Acid Powder (available at health food stores), all types of Peas and Beans and lentils.

Answer 4

Kidney beans are really great. I love to make a big pot of vegetarian chlli using kidney beans and lots of chunks of zucchinni.
One thing, however about meatless protein is that it is considered an "incomplete protein". This means it doesn't work as well as well with other nutrients to absorb them as well as meat does. It is too bad you do not eat fish because salmon and sardines are particularly good for you. Egg yolks are probably good sources of protein too though, but do you eat eggs?

Answer 5

If you're like me you'll prefer the meat substitutes like non meat burgers and sausages. If you're in the UK get Quorn chicken style pieces or Quorn Swedish Style Balls. If you're in USA look for Morningstar stuff. Wherever you are find the vegetarian section in the freezer section in a big supermarket and get that which looks most like meat it should be high in protein. They're normally made from soya beans or in the case of Quorn from myco protein which is conceptually a bit like a mushroom (although not particularly similar in taste or texture).

Answer 6

Avocado - it has more protein than a steak (which is good news for you!). It's one of the healthiest foods around, but people believe that it's high in bad fat, when in reality it's high in good, digestible fat that your body needs (your brain works off fat). It's highly digestible, gives you tons of energy, and is extremely high in protein. You don't need to cook it, just cut it open, eat it with a spoon (like my twins do), or add to salads & sandwiches.

Enjoy!

Answer 7

There's protein in practically everything and chances are excellent that you are getting enough without even knowing it.

You can find it in grains, legumes, dairy products, eggs, even leafy green veggies.

Answer 8

Soy is the best. The only bean that is a complete protein.

Answer 9

my doctor told me to take iron and protein supplements (found at any health food store), and eat a lot of banana's and ever since i can actually notice a difference.

Answer 10

Pulses: all types of beans, peas, garbanzos, lentils, etc.
Especially Soy beans and all its derivates, such as soy bean milk and tofu.
