Protein for Vegetarians
by bocaraton, October 15, 2009 | Permalink
About Protein – the main fact to understand about nutrition is the fact that animal proteins are considered complete proteins. This means that the product of choice has all of the essential amino acids in one source. Going vegetarian means that you will have to make sure you eat a variety and the right combinations. You no longer have to eat the combinations at the same time at the same meal. You do however have to keep in mind to eat a balance of grains and legumes within the same day.
Legumes include all beans, lentils, and peanuts. Grains include amaranth, barley, buckwheat, corn (popcorn and whole corn meal), millet, oats, quinoa, rice (wild or brown preferred), wheat (whole wheat, spelt, faro, kamut, bulgar, cracked wheat, and wheat berries).
