Here are more of the foods on the list of best high-protein low-carb foods for vegetarians:
2. Dairy Foods (Milk, Yogurt, Cheeses, etc.)
Dairy foods like milk, yogurt, and cheeses provide a lot of protein, as well as calcium and riboflavin.
It is important to check the label for both natural and added sugars in these foods and make sure they fit into your own low-carb diet plan.
Protein in typical serving sizes of dairy foods:
– Milk, 1 cup – 8 grams– Cottage cheese, 1/2 cup – 15 grams
– Yogurt, 1 cup – usually 8-12 grams, check label
– Soft cheeses (Mozzarella, Brie, Camembert) – 6 grams per oz
– Medium cheeses (Cheddar, Swiss) – 7 or 8 grams per oz
– Hard cheeses (Parmesan) – 10 grams per oz
3. Soy-Based Protein Foods
The star of plant-based proteins is the soybean. If you tolerate soy well (and please be sure you do before diving whole-hog into large amounts, particularly in soy-based processed foods), it can be a real help in getting enough protein without too much carbohydrate.Soybeans are high in fiber, protein, vitamin K, iron, magnesium, copper, manganese, and riboflavin, as well as a variety of phytonutrients, including genistein.
