Title: Nutritionist’s Guide to Plant-Based Protein
1Nutritionists Guide to Plant-Based Protein
2What is a Plant-Based Diet?
- Many people confuse a plant based diet with a
vegan diet but they are not the same. - A vegan diet is one that is completely void of
animal-sourced foods, and often those following a
vegan diet will also follow a vegan lifestyle
meaning they dont usually use any animal-based
products like leather or wool. - We are Plant Protein Concentrate Isolate
Manufacturers and our product is free of animal
ingredient, it doesnt necessarily mean its free
of sugar, refined flours, or processed foods as
we all know theres no shortage of vegan donuts,
cookies, and croissants on the market.
3Benefits of plant-based protein
1
Plant-based diet could play a role in cancer
prevention. Other studies have shown plant-based
eating can be a helpful strategy for weight loss
and type 2 diabetes management. Meanwhile,
plant-based foods typically contain fiber, which
promotes good gut bacteria, smoother digestion,
and in the case of soluble fiber better heart
health.
4Protein options to try
- 1. Seitan
- Nutrition This wheat-based protein is
relatively low cal and low carb, at just over 100
calories and 4 grams of carbs per serving. Its
sizable dose of the antioxidant selenium combats
cellular damage from free radicals. - 2. Tempeh
- Nutrition Tempeh is tofus firmer,
denser cousin. It contains more protein, fiber,
iron, and potassium.
5Tofu, soy crumbles, and edamame
- Nutrition Soy foods are among the
highest protein vegan options. One 3-ounce
serving of tofu provides 8 grams, while edamame
supplies 7 grams per half cup. - Soy crumbles, sometimes called textured
vegetable protein or TVP, are protein-rich as
well, with 13 grams per 1/4 cup.
6Beans and rice
- Nutrition Beans and rice have long been touted
as a complete vegetarian protein. This means they
supply all the amino acids your body cant
produce on its own when combined. - Another bonus No matter which beans you use,
this classic combo is extremely high in fiber,
especially when made with brown rice.
