In the US, the average person consumes about twice the protein they need, much of it in the form of meat. Excess protein actually leaches calcium from bones and contributes to osteoporosis (<a class="external" href="http://olympia-ar.wetpaint.comhttp://www.ajcn.org/cgi/content/abstract/73/1/118" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">source</a>). <br>That said, protein is important nevertheless, so here is a list of foods that are high in protein. A star next to the food means it contains high quality protein. <br><blockquote> - Beans (kidney, black, lima, pinto, garbanzo, ...)<br>- Lentils (brown, red, yellow, ...)<br>- *Soy (tofu, soymilk, soy yogurt, tempeh, soy nuts, textured soy protein, ...)<br>- Nutritional Yeast<br>- Grains (*quinoa, *amaranth, whole wheat, barley, millet, ...)<br>- Nuts and Seeds (peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, ...)<br>- Seitan</blockquote>Scientists studying nutrition used to believe that on a vegetarian diet one needs to combine certain grains and legumes in one meal to get enough complete protein, but while this misinformation still circulates, we now know that the body can store amino acids, and as long as you eat grains and legumes anytime during the day, you will receive all the amino acids you need in the combinations you need. </blockquote><br><hr size="1"><br/>http://olympia-ar.wetpaint.com/page/ActivismOlmpiaARhttp://olympia-ar.wetpaint.com/page/ActivismFri, 06 Jul 2007 01:37:42 CDTThis is the page for activities that OAR is doing.<br><hr size="1"><br/>http://olympia-ar.wetpaint.com/page/Why+Vegan%3FOlmpiaARhttp://olympia-ar.wetpaint.com/page/Why+Vegan%3FFri, 06 Jul 2007 01:34:57 CDTThis page is still begin updated.
