Protein (Veggie Products)

[TheFancyBanana]

Yes sir I usually eat it with chollay lol.

I'm going to also go to the local farmers market next week to get raw milk. I'm going to need to get more protein intake even though I'm doing alright right now. As you gain muscle and progress in working out/ lifting need to increase protein intake to gain and maintain.

Doesn't saag has protein in it?

How about those Quorn products?

I was looking to incorporate tofu into my diet, but apparently it contributes to bloating of the tidh, and if someone wants to get their stomach sorted out I imagine it would be a bit demoralising to think you aren't improving wnen in-fact it's the tofu that's letting you down. I do need something in the protein department apart from cottage cheese though.

Beans, lentils, hoummus, soy etc are all good sources of protein. I've not heard much about tofu causing bloating, but maybe a little bit of everything is ok in moderation. The toughest thing about cutting out entire food groups is making sure you're still getting all the right vitamins/minerals, which is hard for vegetarians, and even harder for vegetarians who are looking to lose/control their weight.

Seitan also know as Gluten Chicken/Pork/beef etc (but vege) I find is good and high in protein... its a wheat product you can find from chinese stores if you have one near you.

Bananas, Nuts, Soft Cheese (low in fat but high in protein), Asparagus, ... and Oats with low fat milk!

Quinoa is good choice, high in protien, many recipes

apart from treating it as rice, it can be mixed with vegetable salad - tomato, cucumber, spinach, onion, bell peppers, turnip, brocolli, carrots, lettuce, etc and get olive oil and lemon for dressing

or as a fruit salad - quinoa + mango + strawberry etc, try different combinations

or quinoa + boiled black chick peas, or beans as salad......

and make sure not to over boil the quinoa

dont eat quorn products contains egg

Regarding quinoa , its best consumed uncooked - no denaturing of protein - just soak it for 24 hours , the taste gets a bit getting used to though

When you make daals that are turri style (watery) add soya chunks. I get my mum to add them into my cholay, paneer, etc. You can put them into pasta sauces too. Nuts like almonds are brilliant snacks to eat, make sure you chew the nuts up properly and get them as small as you can. If the pieces are too big, they will pass right through your digestive system.
