I'm looking for good sources of raw protein!

Date:   1/10/2006 2:08:44 AM ( 18 y ago)

I spent much of my day researching facts about protein. My goal is to increase my protein without severely increasng my fat intake. I also thought I should try not to increase my carbs any more than the level they are currently at. At Whole Foods I looked at various nut mixes, but found it hard to find nuts that don’t have almost 3 times as much fat as protein. I did find a nut mix that had 11 grams of fat for every 5 grams of protein, but it wasn’t raw. I looked at some online sources which tout vegetables as great sources of protein for raw foodists. Did you know you could get 131 gms of protein if you ate 50 cups of raw broccoli? Good thing I’m not striving for that much protein in a day! My research for my perfect sources of protein continues…
