On the topic of protein, have you tried using nutritional yeast (or brewers yeast) as source of protein? I've heard of some bodybuilders using this. <br /><br />Also I've had pretty good results building muscle with reduced-fat peanut flour shakes with banana and rice milk too (delicious! I recommend the "lightly roasted" varieties).<br /><br />One last thing, I'm loving all of you and Marcella's posts, including the awesome recipes!<br /><br />DavidAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5810134762216097002.post-79962847477020264372011-02-01T18:15:33.956-08:002011-02-01T18:15:33.956-08:00Hi David!
Actually, our favorite protein suppleme...Hi David!<br /><br />Actually, our favorite protein supplement Nitrofusion (http://www.nitrofusion.us/) is soy-free. This is the protein we use post-workout and it works great! As for whole food protein sources, what I mainly look for is the highest 'protein quality' foods and try to incorporate them into our diet whenever possible. Soy is an obvious choice, but raw pepitas have an even better amino acid profile than soy, and quinoa has comparable protein quality to soy. I don't track ratios or anything that detailed, but using our spreadsheet I follow a ballpark of how much total protein I take in per day from all sources. If you are getting enough, you shouldn't worry too much about the source. Thanks for the comment!<br /><br />DerekDerekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07746722573900661211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5810134762216097002.post-39310923312917415082011-01-09T07:31:39.454-08:002011-01-09T07:31:39.454-08:00Happy New Year!

The cruise sounds like it will be a blast.<br /><br />I have a few questions for you regarding vegan protein sources: What would you recommend for a vegan, non-soy protein source? Do you use rice protein, and if so which brand would you recommend? What percentage of your proteins would you say come from various sources?<br /><br />Protein is talked about in such general terms... "x grams per day"... but I'm curious what you think about different sources.<br /><br />Thanks!<br /><br />DavidAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5810134762216097002.post-70642305588157633262011-01-08T14:44:38.014-08:002011-01-08T14:44:38.014-08:00I wish you a happy new (vegan) year too!
