Here is a nifty web site that you can look up specific food and check

the nutritional contents.

Best? Best sources for protein? Don't know what constitutes best... Meat, Fish,

Poultry, Nuts, legumes(beans& peas), Shitaki mushrooms, soy, milk, eggs,

cheese, pretty much covers it. Any exchange diet book you have ought to have a

comprehensive list. Some of the vegatable sources don't have complete amino

acids, so combining beans with cheese gives complete coverage. Shitaki Mushies

are the exception-- they oddly do have the amino acids that vegie stuff usually

is missing.

Good luck, Nan E.

Nan,

the idea that incomplete amino acid content of foods requires combinations

has been debunked. It is still in the older books and secondary sources,

unfortunately.

For protein content there are numerous online sources. Try:

Mike's Calorie And Fat Gram Chart For 1000 Foods

SORTED BY PROTEIN CONTENT

http://www.ntwrks.com/~mikev/chart3a.htm

Protein Content of Selected Vegan Foods

http://www.vrg.org/nutrition/protein.htm

Someone posted an excellent protein site previously that I am unable to

locate. Sorry. Hope it is reposted. Would be quite useful.

Thanks, -- I hate operating on old worn out useless data-- Will revise data

bank re: protein post haste. Unfortnately, I really like cheese with my beans

and not with my shitaki mushrooms, now I have to find another

rationalization....Nan E.

LOL and to think I've always thought " because I like it that way " was

adequate rationale.
