PROTEIN

All proteins are not created equal . The quality or nutritional value of protein depends on its balance of essential amino acids. Generally speaking, proteins from animal sources have a more complete amino acid profile than those from vegetable sources. This should not be interpreted as vegetables proteins not being a valuable and healthy source of protein - only that they must be more carefully utilized in combination with other protein sources to ensure effective absorption. For example - if you have a vegetarian main dish such as rice and beans, it might be beneficial to combine this with a glass of lowfat or skim milk. Egg whites are considered to have a very good amino acid profile.

Example: 1 pkg success boil in bag brown rice(boiled!), 1 small can of peas, 1/4 cup chopped onion sauteed in 1 tbsp olive oil, 2 egg whites and 1 whole egg scrambled , low sodium soy sauce to taste

Combine ingredients in saucepan over low heat for about 5 minutes
