For adult women aged 19-49, it is recommended that we have 45 grams of protein per day.
Good sources of protein include:
Chick Peas - 16.0 gr
Baked Beans - 11.5 gr
Tofu - 10.3 gr
Cow’s Milk - 9.2 gr
Lentils - 9.1 gr
Soya Milk - 8.2 gr
Muesli - 7.7 gr
Bread 7.0 gr
Below is a sample one day meal plan that would reach the protein allowance:
- Breakfast - 2 ounces of Muesli and 1/4 pint of Milk.
- Lunch - Two slices of toast and 8 ounces of Baked Beans.
- Dinner - 7 ounces of Brown Rice, 5 ounces of Tofu, and Fruit or Veggies.
