So last summer I started eating fish again after being a vegetarian for 5 years. I'm thinking of starting turkey again. I think between turkey and fish and egg whites and yogurt I should be good to go in terms of protein. Has anyone here struggled with this issue? Do you think I'm doing the right thing or do you think I should consider trying sources like soy before turkey? The main reason for choosing turkey is because of its ease of use as a protein source at work. Throw together a quick sandwich and theres 20% of my protein for the day, you know. Preston Naah. Been a vegetarian for 30 years, biked & hiked a lot. You don't really need all that much protein. If you do, cottage cheese is the cure. What you may need to do is cut down on empty calories (except, perhaps, on days with extremely high caloric demands). Of course, it isn't as easy as the 'merican way. Is what you might be feeling simply age? -frank I have to go with eat the turkey or chicken. Steamed chicken breast with the skin peeled off is the best source of clean meat protein I can think of. It isn't great on taste but then the purpose is nutrition and not gourmet cooking. Works for me and saves a cow (cattle?), plus there is no ridiculous fat content like going to McDonalds. Canned Tuna is another good one but the fishy taste (wonder why?) will limit your intake. Going vegetarian may seem good on principle but those farm animals are going to get killed either way, and if your justification is health, the bird meat doesn't hurt. Just give the skin to the cat or dog. FWIW when I set out on a long ride I eat about 3 chicken breasts, 6 raw eggs, and a glass of Orange Juice. I take a gallon of that for carbs. Semi vegetarian diet. Bill Baka I'm the opposite: I'm on low carb, and fat is my friend. I ate low fat for many, many years and low carb simply makes me feel better. YMMV. -- Bob in CT Remove ".x" to reply |

If vegetarianism is a moral issue then fish always seems to me a strange choice. Over fishing is a major issue world wide and the way they are killed is not particularly humane. Lamb seems to me a better choice, reared as an almost feral animal in most parts of the world on land not suitstable for crops or cattle eg here in the uk the main sheep areas are the Welsh hills and the lake disrtict. No, it wasn't a moral issue. It was a health issue. Now I'm realizing I need more protein. Preston |
