I need vegetarian meal recipes with perfect protiens?

Question

I'm newly vegetarian, and I'm having trouble creating meals with perfect protiens.

Answer 1

Protein isn't something you should be so concerned with.  You will get the protein you need as long as you eat a variety of foods.  Fruits and vegetables have protein, contrary to mainstream understanding.  If your protein is low, you will feel it (you'll feel dizzy, jittery.)  If that's the case, keep some nuts or peanut butter handy (nuts and peanut butter are FULL of protein.)  Other great sources or protein are: cheese, eggs, soy products, rice served with beans.  I do not eat cheese, but I try to have at least one huge source of protein per day (i.e. one serving of eggs or tofu or rice/beans or nuts.)

I HIGHLY recommend the book "Skinny B*tch" by Rory Freedman.  It helps you understand what you should and should not eat, and it helps you plan meals.

Instead of worrying about protein, make sure that you are getting enough Vitamin B12.  (It is sometimes hard for vegetarians to get enough of this.)

In a frying pan saute garlic cloves, mushrooms, green peppers, onions until soft but still slightly crisp. In a bowl mix cooked rice, black beans together. In another pan heat about 1/2" inch of cooking oil. Warm the 10" tortillas in the microwave until soft. Place a 1-2 large spoonfuls of rice and beans, top with a large spoon of vegetables, and sprinkle with mozarella cheese. Season to taste with garlic powder, onion salt, crushed red pepper, and black pepper. Fold in the edges tightly, and place folded edges down in hot oil. Brown each side until golden brown. serve on a bed of lettuce and tomatoes topped with guacamole, sour cream and salsa. Very tasty!!

Answer 3

You don't need to get all amino acids in one meal.  That's a myth.

Answer 4

yes, you would have trouble.  Perfect protiens are those foods that contain all of the essential amino acids.  Unfornunately for you, this is meat.  To get all of the aminio acids in a single meal, you would have to include a vast variety of veggies.

Answer 5

I'm not a doctor, but try the "Student's Go Vegan Cookbook: Over 135 Quick, Easy, Cheap, and Tasty Vegan Recipes" and I think you will find good answers there. Also, eat plenty of beans -- different varieties of beans & lentils. Eat plenty of bean curd too.
