Guest guest Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 In looking up protein in soy etc. It seems that beans in general have a lot of protein. Although tofu may have more protein it seems that it and soy are controversial. Bean list and grams of protein per cup of cooked beans. Edamame (green soy beans) have 29 grams of protein/cup Fava beans 22g/C Lentils 17g/C Red Kidney beans 16g/C Black, Navy, Haricot 15g/C blackeyed peas, garbanzo beans, lima beans 14g/C This is for cooked beans, if raw beans then about 1/4 Cup of beans. 1 g. of protein = 4 calories Your normal daily protein should be about 20% of your diet unless under orders for a different amount. Check with your doctor. Beans also have all of the essential amino acids plus they also have vitamins and minerals. The article said that they should be fully cooked to avoid intestinal distress and avoid social embarrassment. LOL Happy Holidays everyone.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 what othere vegetables are in the cabbage family?

Just a word of caution to those who may have thyroid problems: Too much soy protein can lead to a more sluggish thyroid in some people. Being a little on the wired swide, I don't worry about this much, though I do prefer whey protein. I have even grown my own edible soy beans, which are very tasty, and a bit on the nutty side. If you can get them, I highly recommend them. And thinking of the thyroid again, there also seems to be a connection between a sluggish thyroid and too much of the vgetables in the cabbage family. Of course these vegetablesa are said to benefit inflimjation, so I do eat these in moderation. Terre you have made me hungry for beans just in time for supper.:-) Jerry/Mississippi/ 54/IPF/dx April 05Who believes that hard times help us appreciate the good times even more.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 Joyce, I sure hope you are feeng better. Some other vegetables in the cabbage family are broccli, brussel sprouts, and colliflower (spell). I try to eat them because of their antii nflammatory properties. Even if your thyroid is underperforming, I wouldn't worry too much about eating a moderate amount. As with everytathing, moderation is key.
