| Adam,
Don't reach for that protein powder too quickly. There are a number
of foods that are high in protein that you could eat more often.
You could try eating more fish. In general you can eat twice as
much fish (including lobster, shrimp or scallops) as poultry or red
meat for the same number of calories. If you eat cereal for
breakfast, you might want to take agood look at the nutrition
information on the side of the box. Some of the Oat Bran cereals
are higher in protein than regular cereal. Tofu is an excellent
source of non-meat protein. Also you could substitue a tablespoon
of peanut butter for margarine or butter on your toast.

| Cottage cheese is low in calories (and fat), and a good source of
protein.

| 393.5 | How protein do you need? | SRFSUP::TERASHITA | California Native | Sat Jan 21 1989 22:10 | 10 |
| Weight Watchers recently cut down the protein exchanges in their
program to 5-6 daily for women and 7-8 daily for men. One exchange
generally equals 1 ounce of animal or cheese protein, or 3 ounces
of tofu.
That certainly seems adequate to maintain good health while losing
weight. How does this compare with your current intake?

| 393.7 | the average diet is more than adequate for protein | ANT::ZARLENGA | Say 'Hello' to my little friend | Tue Jan 24 1989 02:14 | 9 |

re .4 : beans are an incomplete protein.
re .0 : what are the symptoms that make you think you need more
protein, and (as asked earlier) how much are you getting
now?

| re .7, .2:
The reason I think I'm not getting enough protein is I've been eating
mostly salads and pasta, skipping the meat I used to eat. Also,
I have been lifting weights and I am not seeing the progress that
I have seen in the past. I'll try all these suggestions and see
if it helps.
Thanks!

.8> I have been lifting weights and I am not seeing the progress that
.8> I have seen in the past.
"Athletes trying to increase muscle mass, such as weight
lifters or wrestlers, need to exercise the muscle more and do
not need to adjust the diet, as the average American diet con-
tains more than enough protein to provide the body building
material for the new muscle."
So, if you stick to a sane diet that supply close to the
RDA of protein, you should have no problem getting enough.
