What is the easiet source of proteins for a vegetarian?

Question

What do you think is the easiest and abundant source of proteins in a daily diet for a vegetarian? Name more number of items though.

Answer 1

You need about 50 grams of protein per day, more if you're active. I usually have to get my protein on the go since I'm a flight attendant, so here's what I do: Luna Bars: delicious and about 8-10 grams per bar, Health Valley Black Bean and Lentil Soups (these are lower in sodium than most pre-made soups) and have 12 grams of protein per bowl- the to go soups not the canned ones; Progresso Lentil Soup has a lot of protein in it. Its wonderful but high in sodium. I munch on walnuts, almonds, and cashews throughout the day and a serving is usually 1/4 cup and has on average 5 grams of protein. Hummus is my favorite food and its made with chickpeas/garbanzo beans which not only have lots of protein but also vitamin b12. I add GenSoy Protein powder to my oatmeal in the morning b/c I don't like the shakes or have the equipment when I'm out of town to do so. If you go out to eat, you'll have more luck finding protein rich, vegan foods at ethnic places. I get Channa masala (a chickpea dish) at Indian places, coconut curry with tofu at Thai places, and Bean Curd dishes at Chinese restaurants (although if you get the bean-curd steamed without the sauce or sauce on the side its healthier). It sounds like a lot to do, but I have so much energy when I get enough protein and its not that hard to include these things. Good Luck and Happy Tofurky Day!

MYTH: "Vegetarians get little protein."

FACT: Plant foods offer abundant protein. Vegetables are around 23% protein on average, beans 28%, grains 13%, and even fruit has 5.5%. For comparison, human breast milk is only 5% (designed for the time in our lives when our protein needs are as high as they'll ever be). The US Recommended Daily Allowance is 8%, and the World Health Organization recommends 4.5%. [more on this topic, inc. chart]
MYTH: "Beans are a good source of protein."

FACT: There is no such thing as a special "source of protein" because all foods -- even plants -- have plentiful protein. You might as well say "Food is a good source of protein". In any event, beans (28%) don't average much more protein per calorie than common vegetables (23%). [more on this topic, inc. chart]
MYTH: "Meat protein is better than plant protein. You have to combine plant foods to make the protein just as good."

FACT: This myth was popularized in the 1971 book Diet for a Small Planet and has no basis in fact. The author of the book admitted nearly twenty years ago that she made a mistake (in the 1982 edition of the same book).

Answer 4

Beans are a great source of protein, just remember to eat some rice with them to complete the protein chain. Beans on their on are an incomplete protein and therefore not as useful to your body

Answer 5

Soya beans, cereal: grains, oats, pumpkin, other beans: Lentils, chick peas etc. Note Fruit is most important than anything else. Fruit has some similar enzymes in it that meat has and these enzymes are not in vegetables. No Chlorestrol from fruit and no animals dieing.
Vegetarians should eat at least 2 fruits aday
to keep the doctor away!

Answer 6

Soy products, especially tofu, contain the highest amount.

The combination of rice and beans is a complete protein.

Answer 7

Your body...it combines the amino acids from various foods to create the proteins needed for maintanence and growth. Beans and rice, cheese and vegetables, fruits and grains...just keep feeding the machine!

Don't fret about it...your body will do the work just as long as you're providing it with a variety of foods and enough calories.

Answer 8

1. Beans, beans: good for your heart. The more you eat, the more you fart.

2. Beans, beans: the musical fruit. The more you eat, the more you toot.

3. My mother said not to put beans in my ears. You can't hear a thing when you've got beans in your ears.

Answer 9

All fruits are fresh vegetables. A "vegetable" is a plant, any part of which can be used for food.

Answer 10

In the superstore, fruits are usually chosen much too soon. Some are rocks, many are wrong. Some of the fresh vegetables are typical right (zucchini, onions, garlic, lettuce, greens, and a few others) so I'd have to go with vegetables.
