1. quinoa 2. beans 3. Lentils 4. hemp seeds ( protein and omega 3 acids) 5. nuts and seeds 6. nutritional yeast (1/4 cup = 18 g. protein) . fortified with Vit. B12 7. Tempeh ( 100 g of tempeh = 18 g. protein) 8. peanut butter ( 2 T. = 8-10 g. protein) 9. tahini ( 2 T. = 8-10 g. protein) 10. spirulina ( a blue green algae in powder form) , 2 T. = 8g. protein

These arec all great sources of protein however most of them also come loaded with carbs or in the case of peanut butter comes with lots of fat. Can you suggest any plant based proteins that are more pure protein. Many people have to count how many carbs they eat so any/all suggestions would be welcome :)

@@frick6946 thank you Fran ….I have a deep & long standing prejudice about tofu ….I feel it’s taken the blandness of rice, pasta, white processed bread & potatoes to whole different levels of tastelessness. I know it’s my own shit ….it just feels like a step too far even though I did eye up a tofu option in a taco joint recently I’ll look into your other suggestion after finishing up my vegan protein powder (that spoils the taste of pretty much everything I add it to) I’m sure as I add more carbs to my diet the answers will come. I won’t bore you with my diet ….unless you can’t sleep and then I’ll happily bore you to sleep with it

I am interested in making a transition to more of a plant-based diet because lately I have noticed when I am consuming meat or even animal products in general, my body gets turned off and I almost lose my appetite. But a concern of mine, being a bodybuilder, is to make sure I know where I would consume most of my protein from. So this video helped to inform me a ton!

devious dom. Animals have much bigger guts than humans. The little protein they get from each plants will amount a lot due to the big volume they eat. Humans cannot eat that much. Herbivores also have rumens. The rumen is home to trillions of bacteria which ferment the grasses and turn it into fat. The bacteria body itself provide significant proteins for the herbivores. In short, the herbivores indirectly eat fats and proteins. Btw, humans are not eating grass, your premise of eating what the animals eat is wrong.

Honey makes no difference it is still sugar! Seriously, do some research. You are better off avoiding as much sugar/ honey as you can and the same goes for the sugars and carbs in many vegetables and most fruits. Carbs are the great killer of our time and the cause of the obesity and diabetes epidemic and most non viral and bacterial diseases like cancer, arthritis and heart disease.

Ground flax and chia seeds are something I like to use in lieu of all purpose wheat flour. Ground flax and chia are high fiber, high protein, and high omega alternative to using all purpose flour in gravies, soups, stews, sauces and wherever else you may be using ap flour as a thickener. They can also replace corn starch and eggs in certain recipes.

I love this video, I found that I get more protein as a plant based diet than I did as a vegetarian. I can't stand the smell or taste of meat or eggs post pregnancy and after birth I became anaphylactic allergic to dairy . So I found plant based protein easier to get.

@babycakes8434 4 жыл бұрын

I have never heard about "anaphylactic allergy". You can have anaphylactic reaction/shock or anaphylaxis due to being exposed to allergens that might lead to death if not rescued/prevented/helped. You might be allergic to diary though, and you might have an anaphylaxis if using diary and being allergic to it. The symptoms are not always that severe, but they vary. I have been allergic to stuff all my life so I know thing or two about it. Also new allergies can develop at any age. Best of luck.

the actual answer (im a nutritionist) is that protein should make up 35% of your total calories. so adjust it how you need depending on if your cutting, maintaining or bulking. the recommended daily requirement is 45g/day for women and 55g for men.

Hey, Alyssa! Great video. Always love seeing everyone’s favorite sources of protein even though we, as plant based eaters, know that we neither need nearly as much as conventional wisdom would have us believe nor need to think about it after a while. I do want to point out that at one point (I believe it was when you were talking about quinoa), you talk about “complete protein”. Isn’t this an outdated approach to protein consumption? The concept of protein combining to get all 9 “essential” amino acids was eventually taken as untrue by the author who pioneered it, Francis Lappe. I’m hoping we can see a video about this topic on the future!
