Do sources of non-animal proteins contain more carbohydrate than protein?
Lentils, chickpeas and beans are a mixture of carbohydrate and protein. They are higher in protein than most vegetables, which mainly supply carbohydrate. Lentils and beans are a substitute for bread in the Total Wellbeing Diet. Vegetarians can also substitute them for animal proteins as they provide a good level of fullness, but they do not provide the same amount of protein.
