It provides a well-balanced array of all the amino acids, including 34!.6 grams of protein for each 100 grams!. The fatty acid profile of the hemp seed is extremely beneficial, containing omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids in a virtually ideal ratio!.

Congrats on going veg!

Good vegetarian sources of protein are almonds, black beans, cashews, fake meats, garbanzo beans (chickpeas), kidney beans, lentils, peanut butter, pinto beans, soybeans, soymilk, sunflower seeds, and tofu!.

Protein deficiencies are extremely rare in developed countries!. Just eat a normal variety of fruits, vegetables, beans, nuts, and grains, and you'll be fine!. Hope this helps!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Eat a variety of foods from all of the vegetarian food groups!. Get enough calories to meet your energy needs!. Don't attempt to live off junk food!.

That's pretty much it!. It's a myth that vegetarians are lacking protein and it's a myth that meat is some magical source of nutrition!.
