I am a picky vegetarian and a 55 year old woman that struggles with protein intake and weight stability. Can you share any suggestions for high protein recipies?
— Julie-Jeanne Latremouille
Answer:
I don't have any specific ideas for recipes, uh, per se. Um, you know, I will generally say that, um, you know, first of all, all of our, our foods that we eat, um, are gonna contain amino acids, uh, which are the building blocks that our body uses to synthesize protein, uh, during the digestive process. And, uh, certainly some things, um, uh, are, uh, some ingredients that, that is, uh, are, um, uh, they have, uh, a higher concentration, I'll say of, of amino acids that we need to get from food. And, um, if you look at, uh, the category of legumes broadly, um, and, and nuts as well, those are a couple of examples of, um, of, uh, broad, a broad variety of ingredients that, um, you know, tend to have, uh, some, uh, higher amounts of, uh, these essential amino acids.
