| This is for Pash, Hope this helps you and by all mean certainly contact me if you have more question? Lentils are very high in protein and fiber, both great for your health as you know I'm sure. I think lentils might be the highest vegetarian protein source you can get. I would cook lentils in a vegetarian broth and garlic to enhance flavor. Lentils are VERY filling. jljhawaii@gmail.com ( Certified Personal Trainer ) Sources of Protein: Type of food Quantity providing 10g protein (g) Soya flour 24 Peanuts 39 Pumpkin seeds 41 Almonds 47 Brazil Nuts 50 Sunflower seeds 51 Sesame seeds 55 Hazel Nuts 71 Wholemeal bread 95 Whole lentils dried & boiled 114 Chickpeas dried & boiled 119 Kidney beans dried & boiled 119 Wholemeal spaghetti boiled 213 Brown rice boiled 385 If you are trying to gain muscle/loose weight, then increasing your protein intake and decreasing your carb intake is an excellent idea, but you should make sure you balance your meals to get enough vitamins and minerals. Choosing the right vitamins you take is also important, some made for men, women and age group, what your body doesn't use you piss out any way, and remember the way you take them is also important water soluble vs fat soluble, most people forget about that one! This is a vegetarian diet pyramid, it shows the amount of each type of food to ensure that you have a healthy diet. http://www.oldwayspt.org/vegetarian_pyra… http://vegetarian.about.com/od/healthnut… Good Luck! Practice Good Health in Diet and Life! Aloha! John |
