Workout and weight loss on wheels- invest your time & energy

All good things take time and energy. When you put in a little more, you will feel better physically and figuratively. One example is not just buying junk food when making a quick contribution. If the item must be edible, consider giving nuts. They are packed with protein. Second is eating plant based proteins regularly. Our body must get 9 amino acids through food because our bodies can't manufacture them. Research what plant based sources give you protein. Then research how they can be used in regular foods you eat. When you think of protein the first thought that comes to mind is beef, pork, and veal. True, but those are definitely not the only answers. There are also peanut butter, rice, beans, almonds, corn, soy, sesame seeds. Many protein rich foods can be ingredients such as buckwheat, soy, and seitan. They take on the taste of the other ingredients in the recipe. Seitan can be mixed in sauces, gravies, and stews; soy often replaces meats and buckwheat is a common ingredient in pancakes, and works as a stuffing. It is not necessary to eat these foods often but they should be part of your diet.
