how many protein in dal - #36895
I am really struggling to understand my nutrition lately, especially when it comes to protein intake. I’ve been trying out this new vegetarian diet since my doctor advised me to lower my cholesterol, and I've been eating dal a lot. But I can’t figure out how many protein in dal actually provide! Like, I've read that it's a good source of plant protein, but what does that really mean? Last week, I made this huge pot of dal, hoping to meal prep for the week, but now I just keep second-guessing myself. I mean, am I getting enough protein? I noticed that when I skip my meat-based meals, I end up feeling kinda sluggish. Could it be that I’m not getting enough protein from dal alone? I thought about combining it with rice, but still, how many protein in dal is enough to make a difference? I did some searching online but the numbers seem to vary A LOT, like, from 8 grams to 20 grams per serving! How can there be that much of a difference? Is it the type of dal that matters? Also, is there a way to increase the protein content? Maybe pairing it with something? Just trying to find some workable solutions since I'm kind of lost and worried I'm not meeting my nutrition needs. Any advice?
