- Primary source of protein
- What are plant proteins?
It has long been believed that proteins come only from meat, fish and dairy products, which is not true.
Plant proteins can easily replace meat, fish and dairy products.
We had to witness serious health crises (mad cow disease, chicken flu, …) to begin to doubt meat as a reliable source of protein.
Vegetarians and then vegans have proven that there are alternatives to animal products as the sole source of protein.
The dissemination of this nutritional information is democratized through the use of social networks.
Vegan athletes have been widely involved in spreading this information and proving that you can build muscle with protein plant proteins.
What are vegetable proteins?
- The cereals :
- Oatmeal …
- Wheat
- Oats
- …
They are a good source of protein without fat but sometimes a little heavy to digest. To be consumed in moderation according to the profiles.
- Veggies :
- Lentils
- Chickpeas
- White and red beans,
- Split peas …
- And the peanut which is not a nut but a legume.
Difficult to digest, however, you have to take the time to prepare and cook them properly.
Seeds
- Sun-flower seeds
- White, black sesame seeds
- linseed
- poppy seeds
- Pumpkins seeds
- Nigella seeds
They have the advantage of being raw and full of nutrients.
They do not need any preparation and can be taken anywhere, especially when traveling.
Nuts
- Walnut
- the pecan
- pistachio
- cashew nut
- the almond
- macadamia nut
- brazil nut
- Hazelnut
They are full of minerals and vitamins to take with you wherever you go.
Their price varies from single to double depending on the quality.
The green vegetables
This is most surprising when you start to take an interest in the composition of foods.
Discover that some green vegetables contain more protein than meat and more calcium than milk …
We may be surprised when we come out of a life fed on cow’s milk with growths from food industry advertising in fact …
Among the most striking examples:
Nettle : first it is eaten and contains more protein and calcium than meat and milk.
Cultivation problem, however: nettle is the stinging weed for us! What a contradiction!
Difficult to collect on a daily basis since it is unfortunately not found in the markets while it grows on all sidewalks, it can be found in powder form in organic stores. At 6 euros for 200 grams … we walk on the head but nutritional qualities are worth more than a piece of cheese!
