If you want to become a vegan then you need to replace the essential amino acids found in meat by another foodstuff!. Edamame beans contain all nine essential amino acids!. I suppose if you stick to this bean and have the minimal amount that's the recommended daily requirement, then you won't eat too much soy!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Soya beans, and products derived from them, provide protein and essential amino acids!. Wholegrains, wheatgerm, nuts, seeds, and pulses provide protein but not the amino acids!. You could consider taking a supplement!.

You also need to make sure you're getting enough calcium (green vegetables are a good source) and vitamin D (found in oils and margarine and also synthesised by sunlight on the skin)!.

Maybe you should make an appointment with your nurse or your doctor if you're not sure - they could tell you what you need in your diet and how to go about getting it :)Www@FoodAQ@Com

While virtually all vegetarian foods contain some protein, soybeans deserve special mention!. Soybeans contain all the essential amino acids and surpass all other plant foods in the amount of protein that they can deliver to humans!. The human body is able to digest 92 percent of the protein found in meat and 91 percent of the protein found in soybeans!. The availability of many different and delicious soy products (e!.g!., tempeh, tofu, and soy-based varieties of hot dogs, burgers, and ice cream) in grocery and health-food stores suggests that the soybean, in its many forms, can accommodate a wide range of tastes!.

Other rich sources of non-animal protein include legumes, nuts, seeds, food yeasts, and freshwater algae!. Although food yeasts, such as nutritional yeast and brewer’s yeast, do not lend themselves to being the center of one’s diet, they are extremely nutritious additions to many types of dishes, including soups, gravies, breads, casseroles, and dips!. Most yeasts are 50 percent protein!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
