None!.
You can easily get all of the protein you need for the day with the classic, yet noneffective, 3 meals a day!.
Going vegetarian is not the way to go!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

Hey guy, can you please quote the study you're referring to about 150 g of protein per day!? I may be wrong, but this study sounds very, very outdated!. By recent accounts, even Olympic athletes don't need 150g of protein a day!. The liver and kidneys would also be put under huge strain trying to deal with this amount of protein!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
150 grams per day!? Are you high!? That's the problem in this country: people are frickin' protein obsessed!. That much protein will leave you with osteoporosis and damaged kidneys!. You need only 0!.36 grams per pound of body weight, and there's a healthy margin built into that calculation!.
Most meat eaters in the US get 2-4 times the needed amount of protein, and even vegetarians in the developed world typically exceed their daily requirement!. Protein is in food, your list clearly shows that!. Eat plenty of whole grains, soy foods, beans and other legumes, nuts, seeds, fruits and vegetables!. Get enough calories to meet your energy needs!. You will not need a protein supplement!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
