High protein foods other than meat
Common Questions and Answers about High protein foods other than meat
protein
You can find out what percentage of protein is in the food that you are feeding and ask your vet if it is adequate or too high. Dogs are omnivores and do not need primarily meat diets and these high protein diets. I don't know that numbers off the top of my head, but you can probably find it online somewhere.
The types of food that you should be eating are those that are slow release, like porridge, brown rice, brown bread, chicken, fish, lean meat (not fried), vegetables and fruit, yogurt, eggs. Protein foods like meat, eggs, nuts and some pulses are slow release energy foods. Drinking water or herbal teas (without sugar and milk) will also help.
Sounds like you need extra protein, so maybe try adding to your diet eggs, cheese, chickpeas, other beans/legumes, some canned fish, fruit/veg smoothie with protein powder and plain yoghurt, nuts and seeds (I make up bliss balls to snack on as I don't like nuts and seeds by themselves, but once you add some dried fruit or a bit of honey, they are much more edible).
If he likes pasta, then add meat or cream sauces to the pasta instead of plain tomato sauce or plain pasta. Add dry milk to oatmeal, mashed potatoes, gravies, creamed vegetables, and creamed soups (add additional meats to soups). Use all fat dairy products and no low fat foods so he gets the calories he needs.
Mealtimes can be a battlefield when children do not have an interest to eating or eat very little. It becomes the battle of the wits between the child and the parents.
I typically run high protein and have perfect uneventful pregnancies otherwise. (Just delivered Thurs). There can be many factors, but for me it was just my diet. In general I am a big meat, bean, all around protein eater and my body stores it longer, or digests it slower. So they will just watch and make sure it isnt something else causing it and if it levels out they'll make sure it isnt causing any other issues.
Very very very normal in your first trimester and even Into your second. There are ways around it, I found protein shakes worked really good for me. Because the smell or thought of meat made me sick. Plus you can mix in veggies like spinach and other veggies the contain.protein and it doesn't taste like them. Try and eat protein rich foods, like beans! I couldn't stomach eggs until my third trimester. Read up on protein high foods.. it doesn't have to be just meat and dairy.
Also get your protein from lean whole foods like chicken breast, fish. Avoid protein sources that are high in saturated fat, such as fatty red meats and fried meats, as saturated fat raises your cholesterol and increases your risk for heart disease.
If you go to my journal you will see a list of smoothies and protein bars.
t need as much protein as many believe. All animal products have high protein, but also high fat, so you want to consider fat/protein ratio for health purposes. That makes fish a good source, since the fat in cold water wild fish is beneficial fat, while the fat in beef isn't. Lean meats such as venison or buffalo are much healthier than getting your protein from artificially fattened cows or chickens, so try to stick to naturally raised animals.
I differ with above in that I don't believe one size fits all. Some people are constitutionally suited to a high meat diet, others aren't. It's not the food as much as how well you digest the food that's the key. While simple carbs such as white flour turn to sugar quickly and then to fat if not burned quickly, whole carbs such as whole grains can be fine.
m on a very strict nutritional program and typically eat two (6 ounce) servings of meat (chicken breast or eye of round) and 1-2 whey protein shakes per day. Different things I've read says that meat is to be limited to 5 ounces per day and no whey. Does anyone have any information on how our protein levels are reached with these limitations? I cannot eat nuts and one can only eat so many egg whites in a day.
