High-protein vegeterian foods?

Question

I'm attempting to become vegetarian but my doctor recommends I eat 100 grams of protein a day to fix some health problems. How can I get the recommended amount of protein without having to eat meat?

Answer 1

Beans (dry beans but cooked of course) with brown rice. In combination, they are synergistic to each other and are better than each of them separately.

Raw sunflower seeds and raw almonds in your cereal in the morning, or as a snack in the early afternoon.

Soy or hemp protein powder either as a shake, or I put a scoop of it in my cereal before I add the soy milk (for breakfast).

Hard boil a bunch of eggs and eat one or two (minus all or half the yolk if you want) anytime during the day. I like to have them and hour before bed. I keep the rest in a sealed container in the fridge and they'll stay fresh about 5 days.

Chick peas are also good. Avoid canned because of the excess sodium.

If you are going to a doctor of western medicine and talking to him/her about a vegetarian lifestyle, be weary of the information they provide. If you can afford it, see a naturopathic doctor or a homeopathic doctor.

Answer 2

If u drink standard milk then obviously use 1% chocolate milk. It gives u extra protein than commonplace or soy milk. Additionally fave beans r a excellent excessive protein source however be certain u consume many specific forms considering excessive protein veggies wouldn't have the whole amino acids that the physique wishes. Different just right beans are lentil and pinto. Revel in.

Answer 3

Make yourself a delicious black and red bean chili!! Store some in the fridge and freeze the rest. Be sure to use dry beans. The canned ones have too much sodium. You'll have a great dish on hand...healthy too. Garnish it with cheese, peppers, onions, sour cream and crushed tortilla chips....whatever you like. YUMMY!!!

Also try some indian style cooking if you like the flavors. There are many interesting vegetarian recipes to experiment with.

Answer 4

Why did your doctor recommend a high protein diet? 100g of protein is A LOT, more than the majority of people need in a day (including athletes). Try beans, quinoa, soy protein powder, veggie burgers, walnuts and almonds, if you include dairy.. cottage cheese, low fat milk, low fat yogurt.

Answer 5

The vegetarian wheat meat, called "seitan" (say TAHN) is twice the protein and half the calories of beef.

You can make it yourself, from gluten flour, or buy it prepackaged.

Answer 6

Nuts are a great source of protein, and a great way to add flavor to salads.

Answer 7

soy products, mushrooms, tofu, beans all kinds, try them all, peas, meat substitutes (morningstar is good!) I think beans is easiest and cheapest to make and it supples a lot of protein.

Answer 8
