Vegetarians can reach their protein needs with planning.
Mix a few sources across the day instead of relying on one.
Good options
- Paneer, curd, milk and whey if you use it
- Dal, chana, rajma and soy
- Tofu, tempeh and sprouts
- Nuts and seeds as snacks
Tip
Combine pulses with grains, such as dal with rice, for a wider range of amino acids.
