Protein Supplement?!
Answers: Ok I plan to give up meat for lent, I need a protein supplement what is a recomended supplement for vegetarians?
Again, every living thing uses protein as its building blocks.
You can't avoid protein.
Besides, we don't need protein... we need amino acids - we use them to make proteins. Any whole proteins we eat, are broken down into usable amino acids anyway... a process which takes more energy... less efficient. Fruit is high in amino acids. Sprouts are too. Potatoes. Yams... lots of stuff.
All of these have protein in them - some of these, ounce for ounce, have more protein in them than meat, and some of these are a complete source of protein (all the amino acids, like meat):
Dairy, eggs, tempeh, tofu, seitan (wheat gluten), TVP (texturized vegetable protein), fake meat products (Boca, Morningstar, other veggie burgers), whole grains (like quinoa), whole grain pasta, fortified soy milk, beans, nuts, seeds, bean sprouts, whole grain or sprouted grain breads, some vegetables.
People who give up meat for lent traditionally eat a lot of fish and seafood. Other sources of protein include beans, eggs, cheese, nuts, dairy products.
