It makes up muscle tissue, and is instrumental in producing enzymes and their resulting hormones and additional substances. Without it, the body could not operate.<\/p>\n<p>Most folks acquire protein from animal sources: fish, poultry, beef and pork. When you choose to live a vegetarian or vegan life style, there have to be additional sources for you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Before we go further, let\u2019s describe what makes somebody a vegan or a vegetarian. 1st, there are different categories:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>* Vegetarian \u2013 Describes anybody who does not consume meat of the sorts named above.<\/p>\n<p>* Lacto-vegetarian \u2013 Somebody who consumes dairy products like cheese and milk.<\/p>\n<p>* Ovo-vegetarian \u2013 Somebody who consumes eggs but not other meat sources.<\/p>\n<p>* Vegan \u2013 somebody who does not consume meat, eggs or dairy. They also try not to use products made from animals such as shoes or clothing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Other Protein Sources<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The world is full of protein. For the average person, acquiring their protein if they consume meat isn\u2019t generally a problem. If anything, they acquire too much protein.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/recommends\/EnjoyingWeightLoss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"High Protein Sources for Vegetarians and Vegans\" src=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20110518210853im_\/http:\/\/www.natural-holistic-health.com\/images\/enjoyweightloss1.png\" alt=\"High Protein Sources for Vegetarians and Vegans\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For the person who does not consume meat, this might be a bit trickier but we have solutions.<\/p>\n<p>* Legumes \u2013 This is a different name for beans. Beans represent plant protein. The beneficial thing about plant protein is that it does not contain as much fat, particularly saturated fat, as animal sources. Include beans in at least 2 meals each day.<\/p>\n<p>* Nuts \u2013 Nuts contain more fat than beans but it\u2019s the good sort of fat. A few contain\u00a0<a href=\"\/recommends\/Omega3DHAEsters\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">omega-3<\/a>\u00a0fatty acids. Try consuming almonds, walnuts, pistachios, Brazil nuts and peanuts. Having one or two servings of nuts each day can furnish you with your healthy fats. Some nuts likewise come in oils that may be used to make salad dressings or used to cook.<\/p>\n<p>* Whole grains \u2013 Grains furnish protein and also are a good source of carbohydrates. Try to use whole grains that contain all 3 parts of the grain including rye, rolled oats, quinoa, millet, bulgur, buckwheat and the like. Avoid white flour products because of the sugar content and high glycemic index.<\/p>\n<p>* Algae \u2013 You might have heard that pond scum is all the\u00a0<a href=\"\/about\/Anger\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">rage<\/a>\u00a0these days. We\u2019re specifically discussing spirulina and\u00a0<a href=\"\/recommends\/StarWestBotanicals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">chlorella<\/a>. They have a high plant protein content and are a constant subject of scientific research to find a better source of protein.<\/p>\n<p>* Soy \u2013 Soy is also plant protein. Consider eating soybeans, miso (<a href=\"\/recommends\/StarWestBotanicals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">soybean<\/a>\u00a0paste) and tofu.<\/p>\n<p>* Dairy products \u2013 If you\u2019re a lacto-vegetarian, stick to low-fat or fat-free dairy products. This way you acquire the protein and vitamins without all the additional fat.<\/p>\n<p>Are you a vegan or a vegetarian?
