Meat-Free Proteins

What I wanted to make clear on this post that we do not need all that protein as we've been taught. We need for every protein to balance it out with plant fiber. Beans are a perfect example of that balance, all nature does the same unless its genetically altered not to do so or altered to give us too much as in some suppliments
 Not too much fiber unless balanced out with some meat-free proteins. I will list some here...Their is no formula here. Lots of protein balanced with lots of plant fiber as in nature's natural formula within that same meal. Lots of fiber then balance it out with lots of protein as in legumes i.e. Here are more; Vegetarian Protein: 9 Great Meat-Free Sources

1.      Beans
One cup of garbanzo beans, or chickpeas, contains 15 grams of protein, as does a cup of black or kidney beans.
2.      Greek Yogurt
Regular yogurt's thicker, tangier cousin can contain up to twice the amount of protein, all for about the same number of calories and a lot less sugar, according to U.S. News Health.
Depending on the brand and container serving size, Greek yogurt can pack anywhere from about 13 to 18 grams of protein.
3.      Lentils

A cup of iron-rich lentils packs 18 grams of protein -- almost as much as three ounces of steak.
4.      Tempeh
A firmer, chewier cousin of tofu, a half-cup serving of this soybean-based bite has 15 grams of protein. Wheat gluten is plentiful on the market these days too.
5.      Spinach

Cook a cup of the leafy green for more than 5 grams of protein. Spinach is also a good source of calcium and iron.

6.      Quinoa

A cooked cup of this whole seed grain contains more than 8 grams of protein, and a hearty dose of filling fiber. Other grains, like steitan, brown rice, bulgur, are good meat-free protein options.

7.      Peanuts

8.      Almonds, walnuts, pecans, pistachios and other nuts are all good meat-free protein sources, according to Rodale, but peanuts top the list. One ounce of dry-roasted peanuts contains nearly 7 grams of protein. Plus, nuts are loaded with healthy fats

9. Tofu

A half-cup serving of tofu contains more than 10 grams of protein, according to the USDA.

There are many more that could be added here (Hemp 12 f-11p, Cashew cheese i.e.) but this start will make my point with the idea that you don't have to rely on just meat as the harsh animal protein with all its antibiotic's (parasite) that, in the end, is passed into our body and will need to be clean out for our health.
