Cheese is my biggest weakness ever. I looooove blue cheese, feta, gouda, etc... I better stop b/c I'm going to drive myself nuts.
I guess I will get my protein from whole grains, lentils, beans, nuts, seeds, even veggies contain some protein.
The recommended percentage of energy(calories) that should come from protein is between 12-20% of total energy intake.
Non-athletic adults should eat 0.8 grams of protein per kg of body weight...Most people eat double that without trying. |
The cheese is what I was thinking about too.
I would have a major weakness there (especially feta).
I guess I never really thought about things like whole grains providing that much protein but I'm probably just so used to eating meat, I never stopped to think about it...
