Wew never thought I would come across a LebAnon here,
Try pea protein or basedbean protein (soy)
MyProtein has cheap pea protein but it lacks bcaa, you might have to supplement for it. Also, don't forget to take creatine.
Oats barely has any protein in it and it's loaded with carbs, don't consume it in excess. Peanut butter on the other hand is good.
Chickpeas are loaded with carbs and rice isn't good for fitness, it's simple carbs.
We've always been.
Nibba it's almost 17% protein, that's a lot for plant-based food and unless you want to go
They have carbs, but they are better than those found in baked goods, pasta, etc… and I think the same goes for rice (full carbs, but easier to digest). Maybe the other user is right…I used that diet and I trimmed off some few kilos in conjunction with some gains due to a routine I used when I was a boxer. I am not an expert, tho…
What's your guys' consensus on kombucha? Not specifically brand related, but in a general sense? Good for you? Overhyped?
Carbs are carbs in terms of calories, whether they're pure refined sugar or brown bread.
The only difference is their rate of digestion and intake and maybe some slight calorie reduction because the starch needs to be broken down which costs energy (starch isn't as easily taken in as refined sugar).
There's essentially no difference between the carbs found in bread, pasta or pizza compared to those in oats or rice, unless their starch composition differs completely.
The big difference between pasta and oats is that pasta is about 13% protein while oats are almost 17%, meaning less carbs and more protein.
Carbs aren't even unhealthy or something and even help in muscle recovery/growth but they do get stored as fats in our bodies when we have too much and people wanting to go full zyzz cut out their carbs as much as possible.
Tl;dr: unless you want to become zyzz eat a lot of chickpeas, oats, lentils this fast and you'll have a good intake of protein while probably also losing bodyfat.
Never wanted to go full zyzz; I was fit and lean, but just enough to have the health benefits without risking to fall into narcissism or worse.
My point is, plant protein isn't complete protein.
Vegetarian diet is usually high in carbs, it's kinda expensive to go on low carb vegetarian diet.
If you wish to go low on carbs you can use avocados to replace a meal,
Cauliflower rice to replace rice
Almond/flax flour to replace wheat (flax is high in phytoestrogen and almonds has antinutrient properties)
Coconut flour is a better alternative.
As for protein, some good low carb plant sources are peanut, soy isolate ( don't really eat this), rice protein isolate, pea protein etc
As for whole food with protein, I can't think of any. Arabic and Mediterranean foods tend to be high in vegetarian protein.
I used to be a vegan lifter, look out for vitamin B6 and b12, you might have to supplement it.
vitamin A from plant isn't absorbed efficiently, sweet potato is kinda better for vitamin a.
Zinc is required for hormone production, you might have to supplement it too.
Iron is barely present in vegetarian sources, keep track of it.
Avoid calcium supplements tho, also consider creatine since you'll be low on creatine without meat in your diet.
Never said it was, only said it had a lot of protein.
Next time specify your claims better.
What does BV and PDCAAS stand for?
Overyped in the sense that most vegan fads are, but probably good for you.
