Common Questions and Answers about Protein sources besides meat

protein

Avatar f tn Soy products/tofu are good sources of protein, however, if you have thyroid issues, you should not eat/drink soy. Beans and legumes are also good sources of protein, as are eggs, dairy (milk, cheese, yogurt) and whole grains. I don't eat soy, a lot of beans or legumes, so, unfortunately, I can't provide recipes, but you can do a search.
14652685 tn?1435693430 ve lived with this issue for most of my life however I normally maintained my protein intake via a diet high in bio-available protein sources (Red meat and fish due to their acidic nature along with some plant based sources) however, due to financial hardship I can no longer afford the diet I need to stop my body from eating my own muscle tissue. It's beginning to affect not only my skeletal muscles but also my heart and other internal muscle structures.
Avatar m tn Beans and tofu are great sources of protein but for breakfast I suggest cottage cheese (which is a complete protein) you can make it sweet or savory!
Avatar f tn You can get protein fr a lot of different sources than just a protein shake. Beans, Greek yogurt, cheese, almond milk, etc. be careful w too many protein shakes bcuz of added unnecessary calories & too many protein shakes/bars can make you constipated.
591470 tn?1218975186 If you are not eating properly due to the dieting then suggest you consume 1500 calories daily with protein sources (meat, dairy, egg). Thank you for your question.
Avatar n tn There are many good vegetarian protein sources. Nuts, beans, higher protein whole grains and seeds and grain-like foods. I'd go buy a few books on vegetarian cooking. But know that not everyone is equipped to do well as a vegetarian -- most vegetarians do it for ideological reasons and it is harder to get all your nutrients as a vegetarian, particularly methionine and B12, so you do have to learn how to do it well.
Avatar f tn you need to talk to your doctor or a nutritionist and find out how to get enough protein without meat. that's usually a deficiency found in people who don't eat meat and haven't done their research to know how to compensate for the lack of nutrients normally received from meat.
Avatar n tn I quit eating meat one year ago. My protein comes primarily from plants now. I'd like to make sure I'm not getting too much fat from the nuts and seeds I eat as well as the coconut oil. I'm also curious about any deficiencies I may or may not have. Is there a standard blood test for this? Thanks.
Avatar f tn So I'm 10 weeks today and for the past week I have had a complete aversion to all meat. The smell and thought of it makes me nauseous, even chicken! Anyone ever have this before? If so how long until it passed?
1285110 tn?1420147378 is found in virtually all meat and vegetable foods. Good sources include chicken, beef, potatoes, porridge, tomatoes, kidney, eggs, broccoli and whole grains such as brown rice and wholemeal bread.
Avatar n tn Vitamin B12 supplementation you need to take because it comes from meat sources and it not available through vegetarian diet. Calcium supplementation may be needed if your intake is on the lower side depending on what you eat and your bone density. Soy products are a good source of calcium.
Avatar f tn Well - you have got to have a liquid - so the options are water, milk, or soy/almond/rice/coconut milk. Then you have to have some source of protein. Other than protein powder, you are pretty limited. You don't want to use raw egg. You could use nuts or peanut butter. Other sources of protein such as cooked meat or fish wouldn't be particularly appetizing in a smoothie.

Avatar f tn If so, there is no need to alter your diet as long as you are getting plenty of protein from not meat sources.
Avatar f tn Well if meat is making you sick be sure to eat other sources of protein like beans. I got some poweraid and flavored water to keep hydrated. I also add lemons to my water there's a lot you can do! Good luck hope I helped!
Avatar m tn Animal sources: pork, sausage meat, chicken, turkey, duck, luncheon meat, eggs, milk, whey protein, ricotta, cottage cheese, yoghurt Plant sources: red peppers, garlic, onions, broccoli, brussels sprouts, oats, granola, wheat germ, lentil
14616445 tn?1435501145 I took bites of it when I could and tried to get protein from other sources. I also found some meats were better than others. I couldn't stand a chunk of steak, but it was ok to have a pasta meat sauce or chili. I have no problems with any of it now at 27w.
649848 tn?1534633700 Most of us grew up believing that lean meat was one of the best sources of healthy protein there is. We all know that meat is one of the best sources of Vitamin B-12, iron and other nutrients. In the past few years, we've been told that red meat isn't good for us; it raises our cholesterol levels, it contributes to heart attacks and other health issues. We've been told that we need to limit our intake of red meat and eliminate processed meats completely.
Avatar f tn Is anyone else completely turned off by meats?? Since pretty much day one all meat has completely grossed me out. Even when I would try to eat it the consistency in my mouth makes me spit it out! So now I'm stuck trying to get protein different ways! It makes thinks kinda hard bc I never know what I want to eat! I just eat the same things over and each day! And I'm already sick of eggs bc that's the only thing that would stay down during my first trimester!!
6231275 tn?1379901818 As a vegetarian you should be getting all your vitamins and minerals from the foods you ate except Vitamin B12 and maybe Calcium (if you have a history of bone disease in your family). Vitamin B12 supplementation you need to take because it comes from meat sources and it not available through vegetarian diet. Calcium supplementation may be needed if your intake is on the lower side depending on what you eat and your bone density. Soy products are a good source of calcium.
Avatar f tn Beans, eggs, nuts, seeds, tofu and low-fat dairy foods are nutritious sources of protein as well. Too much protein can cause dehydration and calcium loss. Healthy unsaturated fats supply you with long lasting energy to play sports. Eat avocados, salmon, walnuts and olive oil to ensure that you consume plenty of healthy fats, such as omega-3 fatty acids. These acids supply energy but benefit the health of your heart as well.
163305 tn?1333668571 Has your dr given you a limit in numbers of your allowable protein grams? Here's a website to figure out what normal protein requirements are. Maybe you can just stay below the minimum?? http://www.indoorclimbing.com/Protein_Requirement.html Miss talking to you on the forum. I was reading old letters and can't believe how intense our emotions were. Is this your picture/painting by your icon? Hows the family? My dad is doing great!
Avatar m tn and a fat ---- pat of butter or mayonnaise if you made a sandwich. Good protein sources are meats, chicken, fish, beef, pork, etc.; and dairy products such as milk, yogurt, cheeses, pudding, and ice cream. It is good he eats pork and chicken. Here are some additional tips for extra calories/protein: If he likes pasta, then add meat or cream sauces to the pasta instead of plain tomato sauce or plain pasta.
Avatar f tn t meant to eat a meat heavy diet anyway. you can get protein from other sources such as nuts and beans. Peanut butter sandwiches and things like that work great. I'm a server and I carry a baggie full of almonds and peanuts in m apron to snack on (: And then stock up on other healthy foods like veggies and fruits, and eat small amounts of meat and fish when you can.
