Plant Proteins



Astoria!  I am rediscovering the neighborhood of Astoria in Queens as the mecca of international foods in the city. Take the N train to Broadway. Walk along 31st and you will delight in authentic international cuisine at every block.  Last Sunday, I indulged on authentic Greek cuisine with some friends.  Fish, lemon potatoes and beet salad.  Yum.  The topic of protein in foods surfaced as we (nutritionist, personal trainer, and marathon runner) all shared our insight.  Does the body need protein from meat? Can plant proteins suffice?  I found some great information in this article and this list of plant proteins.  Go to Astoria. :)
