vegetarians need to be smart when eating lean proteins

Eating lean protein helps to promote healthy hair and a healthy heart.

U should get at least 1 gram of protein for every 3 pounds of your body weight daily, of course it also depends on your activity level, you may need even more protein. Plant sources are incomplete proteins because they do not have all of the amino acids in them, so you need to combine different varieties to make a complete protein.

The most important thing you can do to make sure you are getting enough lean protein, is to eat a variety of foods. Eat nuts, with whole grains, including legumes, corn products, seeds, and don't forget the many different types of beans. These foods are great when mixed with salads. When choosing carbs. make sure they are whole grain pasta and bread, these have more protein than white pasta and bread. Also brown and wild rice are higher in protein than white rice.

Soy is an excellent source of protein, but ask your doctor how much soy u should have if any, after having breast cancer.

Remember to always consult your doctor before changing your diet.
