Parentree-editors Multiple, India Write a blog Pulses and Beans (M ost are also low in fat) Bengal gram, Chick pea, Chana, Kothukadalai, Sanagalu Black gram, Urad dal, Ulutham paruppu, M inapa pappu, M ashkalair, Udad Cow pea, Lobia, Karamani, Chorap, Barbati, Bobbarlu Green gram, M oong, Payatham paruppu, Pesara pappu Lentils, M asur Feed Rajma, Phanasi, Barbati, Barigalu Soyabean (Highest protein in this category but has moderate fat) Cereals and Grains latest blogs Siblings of special children 61 days ago Teaching small kids 1 year ago Parenting a teenager Simplified 1 year ago The 6 commandments of parenting 1 year ago Dads - 11 tips to remain a great husband... 2 years ago Wheat germ Nuts like almonds, cashewnuts, groundnuts, sunflower seeds, water melon seeds etc., are also high in protein but contain high fat, almost 40 - 50gms of fat per 100 gms of these nuts. So watch how much you eat of these nuts in quest of protein as you can easily overload on fats. Use them in small quantities to complement other sources of protein. Condiments & Spices Fenugreek,M ethi, Venthayam, M enthulu Fish (most are also low fat) Bhekti, Pandu chapa, Painnee meen Bhagon Catfish, Shingala, Keluthi, Jellalu Hilsa, Palasa, Oolum (M oderate fat) Archives M ahasole, Naharm, Khadchi, Kuil meen, Pedda-polika M eat & poultry Chicken Lean goat meat M ilk and milk products Cheese (high in fat) Paneer Khoa, Thirattu pal - (From skimmed milk for low fat) Pasteurised Cow's milk - Liquid form has only moderate protein, while powder form has a lot of protein. Do not rely on liquid milk alone to provide enough protein to your children, especially if you are vegetarian. M ake sure they eat enough pulses and beans also, besides drinking enough milk.
