The protein is one of the essential macronutrients for the correct functioning of our body. It is essential for everyone’s health, regardless of the level of physical activity.
In addition to meat and eggs, there are other foods that are sources of protein.
1- milk and its derivatives- Every 100 grams or 100 ml of yogurt, cheese and milk has an average of five to eight grams.
2- legumes – “They are vegetable proteins, beans, chickpeas, lentils, about eight grams, more or less, for every 100 grams,” says dr. Durval Ribas Filho, nurse and president of Abran (Brasilian Nutrology Association).
3- seeds oily – Almonds, chia, flax seeds, peanuts, nuts, nuts, hazelnuts and pecan walnuts. “Everyone has a good amount, about 20 grams of protein per 100 grams.”
4- soy – Tofu or soy milk itself.
“These are the proteins that we have available in food, moreover, of course, in meat,” adds the expert.
What is the ideal quantity of consumption of proteins per day?
The daily recommendation varies from 0.8 grass per kilo of body weight and can reach up to two grams per kilo of weight.
“So it will depend a lot on the physical activity of this person. A sedentary person, who does not have much physical activity, is 0.8 g. But a person who practices a lot of physical activity can consume two grams per kilo per day”, suggests the doctor.
A person of 70 tolls must consume about 70 grams of protein per day. A beef steak, for example, has about 25 grams of protein.
