Meat-free proteins for you

You are a veggie….and worried about proteins. Apart from meat and eggs the following meat-free proteins are as good for everything – from healthy hair to nails to a good muscular body. Proteins take a lot more time to digest than carbs but keep you fuller for a long time.

Some examples of meat-free proteins:

• Beans
  Chickpeas, brown lentils, soy beans, black-eyes peas, peanuts, pinto beans, mung beans, red kidney beans (rajma in Hindi), green beans, etc.
• Green Peas
• Paneer
  Also known as cottage cheese.

Have these as main meals or in between to make sure you take enough proteins for the day.
