It is required for :
1)Daily repair of the body
2)Good hair and
3)Good skin .

These 10items are the richest in protein. Few pointers :
1) Ideal to make paneer at home from low fat milk(lean protein) as outside paneer also contains fat. So that isn't a lean source .
2) Pulses need to be mixed and had to ensure max benefits or rotational basis. +

However all this shall work provided we exercise regularly and practice yoga and sleep on time .
A good night's sleep & a consistent routine is a must for protein assimilation.
Cut down on white rice if not totally . It causes lot of lethargy due to excessive carbs. +

1)These are some commonly known (but rarely followed ) pointers .
2) Basically we need to ensure consumption of lot of raw fruits & vegetables to avoid lethargy.
3) Consume organic food (lil expensive but worth it )
4)Consume bhakris instead of chappati . +

I hope this thread proves useful to all those vegetarians who feel our diet isn't protein rich .
Even a simple dal khichdi with desi cow ghee is extremely nutritive .
So let us stay away from propaganda 😇🙏We are the food we eat.
