I read the vegan/vege posts. It interests me, not from the point of view of changing over, but balancing my diet better.
Can you think of any good links which list the protein, type of protein content of veges? I am still an unbeliever in relation to being able to gain the amount of protein I want for my personally determined optimal functioning, without resorting to overprocessed options or animal products OR trebling the carb intake. NB not the RDI according to any food pyramid etc. I am aware that broccoli is relatively high in protein and mid level in carbs, but I'm not sure what amino acids it contains, for instance. Also that asparagus is high in fibre and has a significant proportion of the amino acid that makes your &*%^ smelly, but I'm not sure what that amino acid is or how much it contains. Etc. I know this isn't really directly related to your post, but thought you might know a good resource...
