Ways for vegetarians to get protein?!
What foods (besides beans and nuts) that are high in protein!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
Here goes:
-Lentils
-Eggs
-Quinoa
-Seitan
-Tofu
-Cheese
-Milk
-Soy beans
-Soy milk
-Yogurt
-Peanut/Almond/Cashew Butter
-Seeds (sunflower and pumpkin seeds have tons of protein)
-Morning Star products (I looooove the Buffalo Wings)
-Garden Burger products
-Tempeh
-And of course, beans and nuts
That's all I can think of off the top of my head!. Don't overlook other foods you wouldn't think are high in protein!. For instance, a bagel with cream cheese has quite a bit of protein (up to 10 g)!. You can try protein shakes as a snack or for breakfast mixed with fresh fruit, yogurt and honey!. That can add up to 30 g of protein to your daily intake!. also protein bars, but I would just prefer to make some homemade granola bars filled with nuts!.
You can find Morning Star and Garden Burger products in most grocery store freezer sections!. Tempeh, seitan, and tofu can be harder to find but are usually stocked in health food stores!. Tempeh and seitan are meat substitutes like tofu but are made from grains and veggies and cook up closer to the texture of meat!. You can make anything out of them--"turkey," "ground beef," or "bacon!." Fascinating to play around with!
Anyway, good luck!!!!!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Quinoa (pronounced keh-NO-ah or, sometimes, KEEN-wah) is a relative newcomer to the American pantry!. The tiny, ancient Peruvian seed, which has a mild, nutty flavor, is related to leafy green vegetables and is often used like a grain!. Quinoa is as versatile as rice but it has a protein content that is superior to that of most grains, because it contains all the essential amino acids!. In particular, quinoa is high in lysine, an amino acid important for tissue growth and repair!. It’s also a good source of manganese, magnesium, phosphorus and copper, and it has a high iron content!.
Quinoa is very easy to cook!. It’s important to rinse the seeds well, because they are naturally coated with a bitter substance that protects them against birds and other predators!. Most packaged quinoa has already been cleaned, but it doesn’t hurt to soak and rinse it just in case!. Quinoa cooks in 15 minutes, and it’s easy to tell when it’s done because the seeds display a little white thread that curls around them!.
Basic Steamed Quinoa
Many recipes for quinoa suggest cooking it like rice, in two parts water for one part quinoa!. This works, but I find the grains are fluffier if I cook them in three parts water and drain the excess water once the quinoa is tender!. The tiny seeds swell to about four times their original size, so 1 cup uncooked quinoa yields about 4 cups, enough for 6 to 8 servings!.
1 cup quinoa
3 cups water, chicken stock or vegetable stock
1/2 teaspoon salt (more to taste)
1!. Place the quinoa in a strainer and rinse until the water runs clear!.
2!. Bring the water or stock to a boil in a medium saucepan!. Add the salt and the quinoa!. Bring back to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is tender and translucent, and each grain displays a little thread!. Drain and return to the pan!. Cover the pan with a clean dish towel, replace the lid and allow to sit undisturbed for 10 minutes!. Fluff and serve!.
Yield: about 4 cups, serving 6 to 8
Advance preparation: Cooked quinoa will keep for three or four days in the refrigerator and can be reheated in a microwave or in the oven!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Ok, Maggie M!. This one should be fun!!
I have 2 words to completely screw over everything you just said about soy!.
Fermented soy
It DOES have everything you just said, but fermented soy has a lot of benefits!. =)
About there junk science articles you have been spewing out…!.lets see, let me pick one of the thousands of things I could respond with!. Maybe your right!? Wait…my mommy told me not to lie!.
Ok, it all depends on the specific child’s diet!. If once child gets twice as much protein through plant based sources than a meat eating child, they will grow more muscle!. If a child get more protein through meat than he/she will grow more muscle!. It also depends on how active they are!.
There are some major issues with the results of this experiment-- and they are coming out rapidly!. These statements of "vegetarians likely to suffer brain shrinkage" is completely INCONCLUSIVE!. Why!? The experiment had no control groups of vegetarians, vs!. meat eaters, vs!. B-12 defficient meat eaters, vs!. B-12 defficient vegetarians!. This means that a lack of B-12 MAY LEAD to brain shrinkage BUT bodily intake of such cannot be judged by the DIET!. Besides-- how many obese vegetarians do you find!? BUT-- compare to obese meat eaters!.!.!. OBESITY also CAUSES BRAIN SHRINKAGE!. also-- where is the study of brain expanditure on intake of plant materials!? That's pure history! When did we develop civilization-- through cultivation of plants!. And also-- the results show brain shrinkage but DO NOT state if that had a direct effect on actual memory!. Veganism and vegetarianism has been reported over and over and over again to cause "clarity of mind" as stated by M!. K!. Gandhi!. also vegetarianism can lead to longer life (6+ more years), reductions of canerous cells, reduction of heart disease danger, and so many more health benefits!. B12 and memory!? Connection!? Possibly!. Vegetarianism and brain!? These tests are inconclusive and show a lack of research in vitamin takers and actual vegetarians!. The results are being hyped-- nothing more!.
To actually answer your question, FERMENTED soy is a good source, but to get complete protein you do need some beans and nuts and seeds!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Proof that vegans have smaller brains than meat eaters
A recent study showed that children who ate meat developed more muscle mass and scored higher on mental testing than children who did not eat meat!.
http://www!.healthylivingnyc!.com/article/!.!.!.
Here are a couple of facts for you:
Myth: Soy estrogens (isoflavones) are good for you!.
Truth: Soy isoflavones are phyto-endocrine disrupters!. At dietary levels, they can prevent ovulation and stimulate the growth of cancer cells!. Eating as little as 30 grams (about 4 tablespoons) of soy per day can result in hypothyroidism with symptoms of lethargy, constipation, weight gain and fatigue!.
Myth: Soy foods are safe and beneficial for women to use in their postmenopausal years!.
Truth: Soy foods can stimulate the growth of estrogen-dependent tumors and cause thyroid problems!. Low thyroid function is associated with difficulties in menopause!.
Consumption of unfermented soy products is probably not such a good idea!. Unfermented soy contains high levels of a number of compounds that can: block the absorption of calcium, magnesium, iron and zinc; stunt growth; and alter hormone levels, disrupting menstruation, lowering testosterone, increasing the risk of breast cancer, and causing thyroid and prostate complications!. Unfermented soy includes things like soy milk, soy burgers, soy hot dogs, and tofu!.
Sorry!.!.!.!.sounds like your dad is correct!
