Answer 2

The average amount of protein you should get daily would be about the amount in a piece of meat (about 30 grams per day)  A great way to get protien is apricots and papaya! They contain about 10 grams each. Have a nice day, and THE ANIMALS SAY THANK YOU!!!!

Eat lots of legumes, 1/8 cup of raw nuts and seeds every day, and a huge variety of greens and veggies and whole grains.

mornings - eggs(1 to 2)

lunch - mushrooms(20 to 30)

dinner - beans(a bowl size)

snaking - peanuts,any other types of nuts

Answer 7

calculate your weight in kg (to convert from pounds to kg, divide by 2.2).  Whatever your weight is in kg, it that many grams of protein per day.

Good sources of protein are:

eggs

peanut butter

tofu

soy substitute

cottage cheese

beans

Answer 8

I am the same way.  I do not eat meat.  I think that milk and soy milk give you a lot of protein.
