Protein
Just in case you ladies are interested, here's an exert from Tosca Reno's book: Eat Clean Diet Cookbook
..the average body cannot absorb any more than 25 grams of protein at a given meal. Anything in excess of that is stored as fat.
WHAT DOES 25 GRAMS OF PROTEIN LOOK LIKE?
Egg whites - 5-7 whites - 115 cal
Low-fat yogurt - 2 cups/480 ml - 220
Low-fat cottage cheese - 1 cup/250 ml - 115
Whey protein powder - 1 oz/28g - 128
Soy protein powder - 1 oz/28g - 112
Tofu - 1 cup/240ml - 274
Skinless turkey breast - 4 oz/112g - 122
Skinless chicken breast - 4 oz/112g - 125
Salmon - 4 oz/112g - 234
Tuna - 4 oz/112g - 132
Bison - 4 oz/112g - 253
Lean beef tenderloin - 4 oz/112g - 240
Quinoa - 2 cups cooked/480 ml - 509
Almonds or pine nuts - 3/4 cup/180 ml -621
Ezekiel cereal - 1 1/2 cups/360 ml - 540
Soybeans/edamame - 1 cup/240 ml - 254
Natural PB - 6 TBSP/90 ml - 600
Natural almond butter - 6 TBSP/90 ml - 570
Lentils - 1 1/2 cups cooked/360 ml - 345
Now, she also writes that "protein is not well absorbed unless it is consumed with complex carbs from fresh fruit, veggies and whole grains. So, eat up your veggies!!!
