[acb-diabetics] sources of protein

[Mike Freeman]

But one has to be much more discerning and deliberate in planning a vegan diet in order to get all those amino acids.

 

Me, I’m a meat-lover and figure the Inuit weren’t all wrong! (grin)

I think of beans,milk,nuts,cheese,& tofu. We need to pay attention to portion control with these foods.
Where do vegans get their protein? It's simple. The plant-based diet includes a wide variety of whole foods consisting of beans, whole-grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds, along with products made from these natural foods, such as tofu, tempeh, and meat analogs. Those who believe plant protein is inferior to animal protein may be surprised to learn that plant proteins contain the same 22 amino acids as animal proteins.

Some beans and nuts have carbohydrates. For example, 1/2 cup of black beans is 15 grams of carbohydrate. Nuts also have good natural fats, but I have heard that only a very small serving of them is needed. I like to eat vegetarian as much as possible. The problem is that homemade recipes--especially when someone doesn't measure ingredients--are tricky to figure out carb amounts for. Most people don't understand that diabetics--especially people with Type 1--use carbohydrates to determine insulin and not glycemic index, which is quite frustrating. I will stop ranting now. <Emoticon1.gif>

Hello, I have decided to make some changes in my diet.  one is not to eat as much meat.  So I am looking at some good sources of protein.

Thank you in advance.
