Re: Diet Changes (Cheyanne)

[Guest guest]

Cheyanne,

You'd be surprised how easy it is to get more than enough protein in

your diet. Oatmeal, beans, peanuts, peas, other nuts, mushrooms and

broccoli are just some of the non-meat things that are high in

protein. Things that vegetarians use to replace meat (like tofu,

TVP, Tempeh, and wheat gluten) also have protein content.

I also still eat some fish. I just can't give up sushi :-)

I'd like to see some comparison info on this stuff- do

you know of any websites like that?

I also always wondered how much processing they have

to do to those meat substitutes. Any thoughts on that?

One thing I used to do for protein was spirulina- it

was a great energy booster for me.

And sushi, YUM. I eat a lot of fish. Thanks for the

info Kirsten.
