Answer 2

I just found this pasta by Barilla or something (it's one of the regular brands) that is new and has 17 grams of protein in every serving.

Having never eaten meat, fish or chicken ever in my life I am always looking for regular foods with high protein and I eat a lot of pasta (not so good for my waistline, tho) so I was happy to find this. That's more protein than a bottle of Ensure.

Beans, pulses, cereals, meat substitutes.

Did you know.. There is more protein in a bowl of baked beans than there in in a bowl of beef the same size.

Plus EVERYTHING we eat has protein in, just read the food label.
