>>4188580>legumesI know someone who is a nutritionist with the body of a god. They eat a spoonful of peanut butter every day. Tue said peanut butter gets criticised because it has equal amounts of things that are good and bad for you. If health nuts eat peanut butter and legumes every day, I'm eating the fucking high protein legumes.
Benefits of Legumes
>1. High in ProteinLegumes are packed with protein and are considered one of the best sources ofplant-based protein.
>2. High fiberContain a hearty dose ofdietary fiber.
One cup of cookedlentils, for instance, contains 16 grams of fiber, or up to 64 percent of the daily recommended value
3. Aid in Weight Loss
Legumes are also verynutrient-dense foods, meaning they are low in calories but cram tons of vitamins, minerals and nutrients into each serving. This makes it easier to optimize the calories that you’re taking in.
>4. Contain Important Vitamins and MineralsHigh in micronutrients likefolate, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, manganese and potassium.
A cup of lentils, for example, provides 90 percent of your daily folate needs and 37 percent of theironyou need in a day.
>Negative side effects will only effect people On a already shitty diet, or vegetariansThey contain anti nutrients and physic acid that will inhibit absorption of key minerals. But, you have to eat a diet high in cereal, legumes, and grains to be effected by it.
This is much more likely to affect vegetarians than meat eaters. In fact, nutrient deficiencies as a result of phytic acid really only affect those with a diet composed mostly of cereals, legumes and grains.
