Hello everyone, :)
I am very new at raw eating and I'm not a 100% raw. I started to try raw diet and found that It's dficult to me to get as much proeteins as I would like. Could you guys tell me how do you get your protein?
Before I became a vegetarian I was eating lots of beef, milk, eggs and curd. Fours years ago I stoped to eat meat and started to eat even more diary, eggs and soy to get much proteins. It lasted only for few months, I stoped to do training for few years. One year ago I stoped to eat diary, eggs and fish but half of year ago I started to do excersises again and eat more proteins as well. Not that much like when I was 14 but more than average people eat. Now I'm trying to eat more raw but I have some problams with this. I was trying to eat 100 % raw but I was always hungry. Could some one tell me some high protein recipes? I am eating sunflower seeds, flax-seed, sesame ( just I don't know how to prepare that), pumpkin seeds and some nuts to get my protein but I don't know many recipes with that and I feel its not enouth. I would like to get about 1,5 grammes proteins on one my body killo (I weight 50 kilos) with all amino acids but I feel its so impossible right now. Is it possible at all in raw vegan diet?
I would be very grateful to hear your advices and recipes :] ? ? ?
Thanks

Thank you powerlifer. Yes, I know that I don't need that much proteins but I need it for excersises. I don't have money for suplements and I would like to have everything I need from my food. I know that most people say it is possible but I don't know what kind of dishes to make with all theese seeds.
Mostly my day of eating is like that:
Breakfast: some some soaked grain with sprouts, not much of seeds, honey (i'm not a vegan), dried fruits (not raw)
At school: apples and sometimes bananas, nuts and some not raw dish
Dinner: Some not raw dish high in proteins like beans wich I would like to replace with seeds
Then I eat some vegetables
and in Supper I eat seeds
So I need recipes for supper (very high in protein meal) and for dinner something also hight in proteins. (I don't have hope to eat raw at school.)
What is the problem with fats? I don't want to loose weight so I think I don't need to avoid that?
No, I don't have a blender but I have a coffee grinder. I will try to do it with that. But thanks any way because someday I'll have a blender so all advises are valuable. B)
Superfood2 thanks for posting what you eated per day. :)
It looks so much food! How many times do you eat per day? I could never eat that much, it seems impossible. I tried to eat much of fruits and vegetables but I always felt hungry. I was eating almost all the time and still felt hungry. RDA what are you eating looks so inspiering, I'll try to eat more fruits and vegetables but 3 bananas look much to me, I probably won't be able to eat 13 and 10 cups of cale. O_o
Two things:
QUINOA
MILLET
Those two grains are complete proteins. They provide all the essential aminoacids needed in the human diet. If you still eat a percentage of cooked food, you can use these two grains in cooked form. I make beer with them :)
Sprouted quinoa is great, just make sure to wash it first, and only soak them for about four hours, no more.
Also, try lentils, soy and other beans, you can sprout them.
Another rich source of protein and pretty much every other nutrient we need are microalgae: spirulina and chlorella can be bought in powder form or as pills. I buy powdered chlorella and spirulina and what I do is I take avocado and smash it, like when you make guacamole, you can also add raw tomatoes, and then you blend in the spirulina and chlorella powder. Eating this will make your skin feel really soft also.
