Guest guest Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 Here are common vegetarian foods that are high in those nutrients ( " high " means, if you were to get that nutrient only from that food, for an adult person, you would need 2000 calories worth, or less - in other words, those foods much improve, rather than diminish, your chances of getting that nutrient and not getting fat in the process) High in E: Bran Germ Sunflower Almond Walnut Apricot Nectarines Peaches Plums Assparagus Broccoli Brussels Pepper Spinach High in Zinc: Germ Yogurt Bran Spinach Shrooms High in Selen: Whole grain bread Germ Bran Whole wheat flour Lentil Shrooms High in Niacin: All Vegetables Peaches Melon Bran Whole grain flour And I don't have a clue about Vit K Mark On Behalf Of Dipti Sharma Thursday, July 06, 2006 5:01 PM [southBayVeggies] FitDay website I found that I dont meet the requirements for Vit E, Vit K, Zinc, Selenium and Niacin (Vit B3). Through Google I found that parsley surprisingly contains a lot of Vit K. What else can I eat to increase my intake of Vit E, Zinc, Selenium and Niacin without taking a supplement (I have to take supplements for B12 and iron and dont want to take any more!) I know I can google and find foods - but I thought I'd ask the nutrition experts on the groups! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
