What are some vegetarian sources of lean protein?
I'm a vegetarian and I don't think I eat enough protein. What are some good sources that are low in fat? Thanks!
Answers:
As far as im concerened you have the entirely wrong mentality here.....
meat is loaded with saturated fat, so lean meats are better for you.
however, plant based protein sources like legumes, seeds and nuts, are all chock full of essential fatty acids.
i dont want lean vegetable protein.
i would always choose the higher good fat content from a plant based protein source, i eat tonnes of walnuts and avocados, because those good fats really are very very good for us.
people hear 'fat' and instantly get turned away...
when those good fats are sooo good for us, our heart, our brain, our skin and hair...
let alone that the body uses them in the process of constructing every cell in our body.
they are also a good readily available energy source.
dont worry about it.
eat up and exercise.
if you eat more good food your metabolism will kick into gear and burn more.
its also much easier to manage your body fat with regular excercise as this also keeps your metabolism going well.
Good Luck : )
