What kind of vegetarian protein can I eat on a no carb diet?

Answer 1

everyone's forgetting peanut butter. just don't eat it on bread or crackers, obviously. you still have celery, and apples. but i agree with the others than NO carbs is not healthy, you can monitor and limit without cutting out completely.

Answer 2

As a vegetarian you probably would only be able to eat dairy and eggs (allowable for vegetarians, but not vegans). Eating only these two protein sources will make you sick and it is not a lifestyle of eating that is condusive to living well and long.

Also: there are protein powders out there for high protein content, but there is a minimal amount of carbs in it. Brown rice, whey, soy, pea, and hemp are excellent sources.

Answer 3

All vegetables have some carbs, but there are some that are lower in carbs than others, im on the atkins diet and the ones i eat that are the lowest in carbs are...
Green beans, peas, brussle sprouts, spinach,and usually any other green vegetables...
The only one i can think of that has protein is beans and they have alot of carbs.
Hope this helps...

Answer 4

If you eat eggs, then that's obviously the best. And if you eat dairy, you can have yogurt (fat free/sugar free). Otherwise, tofu is best .. peanut butter is great .. you can make a shake with milk and peanut butter (even if it's soy milk). Beans are really high in protein but they have lots of carbs too. THe lowest carb legumes are lentils and split peas.

Answer 5

Tofu!

Tofu is the alternative for vegans or vegetarians on meat, which contains protein, so is tofu! and the good thing is its also low carb!

Answer 6

No carbs? Bad idea. The body needs carbs (the good ones). Stay away from bad carbs only (white bread, regular pasta, refined sugars like candy, cake etc)

Answer 7

No one should eat a NO carb diet, vegetarian or not. It's simply not healthy. Ask any legitimate doctor or nutritionist.

Answer 8

hi..

Here's a quick run-down of foods that are high in protein, as well as a few suggestions on how to make the most of them.

Dairy products_________
Dairy: milk, buttermilk, condensed milk, evaporated milk, goats' milk, cream (single, double, whipping), crème fraîche, smetana, soured cream, yogurt (plain, flavoured, Greek-style), butter, ghee, cheese

Dairy products are an important source of calcium as well as protein, but be careful not to overdo it on cheese by making sure you eat plenty of pulses too. Vegetarian cheese - cheese made using a non-animal rennet - is now widely available, so look out for the words 'suitable for vegetarians' on the packet, the Vegetarian Society's logo - or ask if you're buying from a cheesemonger.

Eggs________ (in case u do eat eggs)_______
As well as hen eggs, look out for quail eggs, duck eggs, goose eggs, turkey eggs and gull eggs. Many vegetarians who eat eggs will insist on free-range eggs.

Grains, rice and cereals________________________
Grains: Wheat (whole, cracked, bulgar, flakes, bran, germ, semolina, couscous), amaranth, buckwheat, barley, farro, corn (or maize - sweetcorn, popcorn, polenta), millet, sorghum, oats, rye, quinoa, wild rice



Rice: white and brown rice, white and black sticky rice, white and brown long-grain rice, basmati rice, white short-grain rice (also known as pudding rice), Thai fragrant (or jasmine) rice, red rice (eg. Camargue), Italian risotto rice (arborio, carnaroli, vialone nano), calasparra, Valencia (paella) rice

Grains and cereals go well beyond bread. Find out more about grains and cereals here and get creative in the kitchen.

Nuts and seeds______________________________________
Nuts: almonds, brazil nuts, cashew nuts, coconuts, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, peanuts, pecans, pine nuts, pistachios, sweet chestnuts, walnuts

Seeds: poppy, pumpkin, sesame, sunflower, linseeds (flax seeds)

Linseeds (flax seeds) are a particularly good source of an essential fatty acid (called a-linolenic acid) that is important to proper nerve function and can help reduce the symptoms of arthritis and heart disease.

Pulses_____________________________________
Peas, beans, lentils

Use super-nutritious pulses - fresh, dried or canned - as the basis for a huge range of satisfying dishes. Find out more about pulses here.

Soya products and mycoproteins
Miso, soya, tempeh, textured vegetable protein (TVP), tofu (beancurd) and mycoproteins

Products made from soya are incredibly versatile - as well as high in protein. Find out more about soya and mycoproteins here.

Wheat protein__________________________________
A useful ingredient for vegetarians and vegans is wheat protein, sometimes called seitan, which is derived from wheat gluten (the protein part of flour). The gluten is extracted from wheat and then processed to resemble meat. It is more similar to meat in texture than either textured vegetable protein or mycoprotein and is used as a meat substitute in a range of foods. It tastes like meat, too. It is naturally low in fat and can be roasted, baked stir-fried, stewed or in sandwiches. Look out for it in health food stores.

happy eating!!
