protein packed recipes?

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

 

 

 

I'm a runner (and ofcourse a vegetarian ) and I'm wondering if there are

anymore of you on this list who may have some advice for me...

I also have to lose about 10 more pounds...) Anyway, I think my performance,

my health and my weight loss have slowed or plateaud because of

insufficient protein.. I'm definately not a low-carb high protein type of

person ( I run- I can't do that) , but I'm looking for advice from veggie

runners, or recipes for some higher protein meals ( prefereably lower fat)

I guess over the summer it has been easy to eat grilled veggies and pasta

and california rolls and not get much protein..- haha..

 

My nails are splitting badly, which i think may be a sign, I 'm recovering

from a shin splint, and my weight is going no where ( likely due to the less

running because of the injury)

 

I added fish back into my diet a few months ago ( I know, i know- in hopes

of reving up the metabolism and squeezing in more protein) but I have

problems digesting anything other than tuna and I can only eat a small

amount.. so I'd prefer to get easy tofu recipes ( requiring little cooking-

it's too darn hot) or bean recipes I guess..( I like beans, I just get tired

of too many bean meals a week) Its so hot I don't feel like eating anything

but icecream- isn't that awful?

 

any advice form anyone going through similar things? any high protein

recipes?

 

and I'd also love to chat with any experienced or even novice

veggie-runners...

 

I want to try to include a protein source ( a significant one) with every

meal.. but tuna every day for lunch and protein shakes for breakfast can get

boring.. don't let me get bored here guys- I have to fix this!!

 

thanks!

 

ps- I'm allergic to tomotoes & oranges.. ( i know i know..) I will do dairy

and eggs- though I like to keep low fat in mind..
