BEST VEG PROTEIN FOODS AVAILABLE IN INDIA

Today i am going to tell u some most important and rich protein sources which are available in India and can be found anywhere in India .... And yes these are VEG sources ...

1.  Soy

        There are many misunderstanding among people regarding soy(Soya). Usually sayings such as it is not good for health . Today i am going to tell u all the facts and not myths about Soya and how it will help us to complete our protein needs .

        Bascially we need to go for Soya chunks and not soya beans . You can get Soya chunks anywhere in the market . And the great thing is that you get a 200 gm pack at just  45 rs  . You can go for any Soya Chunk Brand . I have tried Nutrela Soya Chunks and you will be shocked looking at its nutrition values in just 100 gm's .

As you can see above only 100 gm's of Soya Chunks gives us 52 gm of Protein 33 gm's of Carbs and just 0.50 gm's of Fat . 

So its not like we have to eat the whole packet on a single day to complete our protein count . 

You can have 50 gm's of Soya chunks in your meal which gives you about 26 gm's of protein .

And yes dont have soya chunks every another day , you should always have a changin protein sources of food . Have a Great Day .

      

       2.   Nuts

    

        Nuts are many times not liked mostly due to fat. But many of them dont know that it is the powerhouse of Unsaturated fats which are the good fats that are not harmful to our body .

Basically these nuts fill us up very soon and for long time .

About one cup of mixed nuts gives you about 876 calories .

Calorie breakdown : 77%  Fat , 13% Carbs , 10% Protein

You should go for cashews , almonds and peanuts which are high in protein .

Always have a handful of nuts in your daily intake .

        3.  Paneer

                        

        One of the delicious protein source found is Paneer . It contains 80 to 86 percent protein biological value . Mostly every veg lover has Paneer in their food list , maybe at the top .

Paneer being delicious also has very good nutritional values .

40 gm's of Paneer gives you about 7.54 gm's of Protein , 4.96 gm's of Carbs and 5.88 gm's of Fats .
