Guest guest Report post Posted May 16, 2006 Karen you haven't seen my son go after romaine lettuce he could easily do 72 leaves a day - lol. That aside, I think your comparison is more likely even though I would love the romaine to be equivalent in protein value per calorie (smile).

Guest guest Report post Posted May 16, 2006 >>>There is more to romaine then then most Americans and nutritionists have >>>been taught to believe. Hmmm, I hate to admit this, but I have been known to eat an entire head of romaine at one meal. I love it --- the waxy feel in the mouth and the nutty flavor. And I would much rather eat 74 leaves of romaine than pork any day of the week (especially since I've never even tasted pork!). But, it's fortunate that if we need 74 romaine leaves to get a serving of protein, then I'm thankful for additional protein sources like nuts, grains, and seeds. Wouldn't it be boring if we could only receive specific nutrients from one or two specific foods? Rambling. . . LaDonna Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That it would be, definitely (especially if they were soybeans and wheat, as I'd starve in several long, painful days). But, I doubt many could survive on 74 leaves of romaine a day (that would be at least three heads, probably more like 6) and they would be way over on some nutrients and still only have 7g of protein for the day (actually, there was a special last night on starvation in ethiopia, where they primarily had only " wild cabbage " to eat, which is more nutritious than lettuce) and could only get one small portion of injera (a grain) a day -- they were steadily dying and trying to make it until the next charity food drop. No one has to eat pork, of course (esp on this list), but so many have no clue on how to select foods to get the proper amount and right balance of protein on a regular basis (with " complete " proteins consumed within at least 3 days of each other, although daily is better). Using resources like those provided free by the USDA can help and nutritional information on almost all veggies/grains available in our stores is easily found, as are resources to help build complementary proteins into a daily menu. --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude Virus] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted May 16, 2006 > I have found that eating the recommended pound of romaine a day > recommended in " Eat to Live " isn't that hard. That's roughly 3/4 of a head (a head is 626 grams on average, while a 1 lb = 453.59 grams. That is also considered over 5 servings of romaine. You get from that: 77 calories, 5.58g of protein and 14.88g carbs (of which 9.5g is fiber). It provides 617mcg folate (1.5 times your daily requirement!) and quite a bit of vit A and K plus about a day's worth of vit C. It's high in potassium and calcium, but low in sodium, so quite healthy. But, you'll need another 50g of protein from other sources during the day (more if you are active or larger than the " average " 150 lb person used to set daily requirements). But, romaine isn't providing much " energy " - that's entirely due to calories and 77 isn't enough to sustain even metabolic function. It's all those other additions that do that (nuts, avocadoes, more calorie dense veggies and dressings). However, eating lots of salads (and a lb of romaine a day will equal at least two chef salads a day, probably three) will help keep you regular and can lead to healthy eating habits (if they aren't chef salads designed by restaurants - many of those have a day's calories in one " serving " ).... --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude Virus] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest guest Report post Posted May 16, 2006 > I know there is certainly disagreeing information about how > much protein a person needs, and the best sources of protein. This is also true - and I'd check more recent FDA/USDA sources, rather than books. They have upped the requirements, especially for the elderly, recently. Also, older sources of nutrients in foods are now suspect - 75+ years of commercial agriculture have resulted in lower protein and nutriens in many vegetables (and even less calcium in milk, for those not vegan). Recent recommendations now include multivitamins daily for everyone, as it is much harder to get minimum requirements in our food. Those eating processed foods (like white flours) are typically deficient in zinc, for example (stripped out with the iron and many other nutrients, but not something re-fortified). --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude Virus] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest guest Report post Posted May 21, 2006 A pork chop has around 165 calories and 26 grams of protein. A cup of romaine lettuce has 8 calories and one-half to one gram of protein. So to get the equivalent of that pork chop in protein, you'd have to eat 26 to 45 cups of romaine lettuce. Let's try to make 26 grams of protein in a salad one person could actually consume in a sitting. Two cups romaine: 2 grams protein, max. A cup of garbanzos: 14 grams protein. A third cup of sunflower seeds: 11 g protein. That's about the same protein as the pork chop, but it's 780 calories--about five times the pork chop. I'm not saying we should all start eating pork. But I am saying we shouldn't be cavalier about our protein needs. A nice romaine salad and maybe some beans or nuts added is delicious and full of nutrients, but it is not an excellent protein source. Two people close to me are suffering serious health problems from blithely assuming they were getting enough protein, instead of paying attention to what they actually were getting. Rhetoric is no substitute for serious attention to your body's needs. Laura G. Barbara Frohne wrote: > Most people don't know that romaine lettuce has as much protein as > pork, calorie for calorie.

Guest guest Report post Posted July 6, 2006 i just looked at one of the file documents that lists sources of protein. i notice there are things like yogurt and rice listed. can i count these as a protein alone or do they need to be combined with something else for a complete protein? i thought i heard that in this program, yogurt does not count. and as far as rice goes, shouldn't that be counted as a carb instead of protein? kim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest guest Report post Posted July 6, 2006 OK, hold on folks, LOL. Please, oh please do NOT count rice as a protein.The purpose of the protein recommendation is to allow you to heal. In working with those of you who are vegetarians, we tried to be flexible to accommodate your needs. But that means using dense sources....beans, nuts, eggs, cheese and not carbs, veggies and fruits.If you start figuring out ways to get by, then you are doing *counting* rather than healing, ways of cutting deals rather than getting the point of the original recommendations.My concern is that many atimes SS people turn to being vegetarian because they LOVE carbs and it is a way to get by with a carb diet undercover. It also can be a way to reinforce anorexic eating where you don’t eat to evoke beta endorphin. Doing that subverts the purpose of the program.Can we talk about how to use dense vegetarina proteins to heal your body?Warmly,katheenOn Jul 6, 2006, at 12:12 PM, kjanes wrote:Yeah I do but there are only so many nuts and eggs you can eat!

Guest guest Report post Posted July 6, 2006 One thing to keep in mind is that if you are using brown rice as part of your protein, then you can't use it as your brown. So you would have to either eat a lot more brown rice, enough for your protein and your brown, or have another brown to use as your brown. In other words, if you are having a cup of brown rice, it can't be both part of your protein, and a cup of brown. The program really works best if you use dense proteins. You can combine different sources. For instance, if you are eating chicken, how about a chicken breast with some cheese melted on it? Or a salad with chicken and hard boiled eggs? Or some cottage cheese and chicken etc. Allison , kjanes wrote: > > Yeah I do but there are only so many nuts and eggs you can eat!

Guest guest Report post Posted July 7, 2006 Okay, thanks Bob!!! On Behalf Of Bob Thursday, July 06, 2006 6:24 PM To: Re: protein sources Radiant Recovery has some great recipes http://www.radiantrecovery.com/recipes.htm One of my favorites is the Trail Mix, just love it. There are also some recipes and a protein guide under Files. When you try some of these out let the group know what you think, keep us posted. Bob , kjanes wrote: > > I need to explore, myself.

Guest guest Report post Posted July 8, 2006 As I understand it from the books, rice is clearly considered a brown. I definitely know it wouldn't work as a protein source for me! My usual protein sources are beans, garbanzo beans (in salads, stews and spread), lentils (my favorite! I just love lentil soup in winter and lentil salad when the weather is warmer). I also found some very good whey protein powder. I try to avoid soy, since I am not very sure what I'm putting into my body when I eat it. Greetings from damp, misty Buenos Aires, Agustina Yeah that sounds good. I’ve done that, combine proteins like chicken and cheese. So I could eat beans and rice, with ezekial bread as my carb? And the beans and rice would be the protein? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
