almond as a source of proteins enough ?
 

Is eating almond as a source of proteins enough ? How much a day should I eat given it's mostly my only source of proteins right now.

According to the menu planner I use, almonds have 836 calories per cup, with 28 grams of protein and 74 grams of fat. You would need to eat 2 cups to get a reasonable amount of daily protein for 1670 calories and about twice the fat that a regular eating plan would recommend.

Is there a reason why you are relying on only almonds for protein?

No, it's not. What other limitations do you have? Maybe we could help you by suggesting other foods.

There are so many whole, natural foods that are great sources of protein. I am interested in what the answers to the questions above are, so that more suggestions can be made! :)

And if you were eating 2 cups of almonds at 1670 calories, there wouldn't be much room (calorie wise) to eat anything else. And obviously, that's just not an option.

So yes, please, give us a little more info so that we can make some more suggestions.

Oh..didn't know there was this much calories in those. I generally do not eat a lot of them though....it's just that i dont eat red meat at all..i seldom eat fish (read maybe once every two weeks or once a week) or chicken.

the only thing other than that which i eat beside nuts and those two items above are : cow milk, soy milk, tofu sausage which of course i dont eat everyday. i dont think i eat much other things beside that which have proteins..i dont like to eat whole grain pasta...i just hate them...

Since you aren't vegetarian or vegan, as long as you eat a variety of foods, you shouldn't need to worry.

Yogurt, eggs, low-fat cheese, beans, lentils, etc. Protein isn't that hard to add to the diet (vegetarian for 26+ years). Nuts HAVE protein, but they also have a lot of FAT. While a few nuts are a great addition to your daily diet, please look to other sources for your daily protein needs. If processed foods aren't taboo for you - MSF and Boca and Gardenburger have some great soy-based products with ample protein content.
