| Question: | I would prefer not to eat meat all, but I don' t really like beans and pulses. Would I get enough protein from fish, eggs, nuts and dairy products? |
| Answer: | Yes, as iong as yon make sure you eat protein regularly and try to vary the sources. For instance, don' t forget the protein-rich vegetables such as broccoli, peas, spinach and potatoes, plus grains such as quinoa, which has as much protein as meat (you can buy this from your healthfood shop).
Tofu is wonderfully versatile, and you can obviously ring the changes as much as you like if you include fish (sardines are an excellent source, as is cod), eggs, nuts (cashew nuts, peanuts and almonds are good) and dairy products such as yoghurt and cottage and hard cheeses. |
