Any suggestions for protein intakes for vegetarian diet?

Question

I am a eggitarian but dont eat meat. Any ideas to increase protein intakes after workouts. Need to put on some meat.

Answer 1

the best non-animal source of protein is soy protein isolates. they have a biological value (BV) of 74 which is right behind meat/poultry at a BV of 75. the biological value is the amount of "usable" protein that remains after the digestion process. whey, caesin and egg white proteins have a BV of 100. most non-animal protein (nuts, seeds, etc.) sources have a BV of less than 60. so if the serving size of nuts says it's 5 grams of protein after digestion it's closer to 2.5-3 grams

soy protein isolates did score a perfect 1 on the PCDAAS scale the same as egg white protein. it's very high in branched chain amino acids

There are some great protein shakes out on the market- be careful of the ingredients on them though. For actual food, I would recommend Quinoa- A sort of pasta, sort of rice dish that has as much protein as a steak. Also, I found that Barilla plus pasta has about 21 grams of protein per serving. I have been a lacto-vegan for many years, and I eat both of those things on a regular basis. I also supplement with protein bars when I am on the go.

Nuts have the protein you're missing from meat.

Mushrooms. opposite to often happening theory mushrooms incorporate extreme high quality proteins at the same time as having no energy. they are additionally loaded with supplementations and antioxidants. seek for out some greater of the unique mushrooms and that they get greater suitable and greater suitable in terms of high quality proteins. uncertain in case you ever have eaten 'Quinoa' you may look it up, loopy extreme in protein and scrumptious.

myvega.com has an excellent protein powder, bars, an other stuff for vegetarians - evrything is completely plant based.

genuinehealth.com has greens+ with variuos added nutrients. It used to taste bad, yet now they are flavored with apples and oranges.

Of course you should always combine beans and rice to get the complete amino acid profile for muscle growth. Kidney, black beans and chick peas are best due to thier high protein and fiber amounts, and brown rices are better than white rices.

btw did you know talcum powder is used to make white rice appear 'whiter'!
