All foods can be satisfied to remove hunger. They cannot, however, provide the body with needed energy. Hence, a well-balanced diet is required. Protein is part of the integral diet. Hence, we all try to add proteins in our diets. The big problem, however, is that we have too many misconceptions about proteinous foods. By consuming such foods, we convince ourselves that we have eaten protein-rich foods.
However, in reality, that particular food will not contain much protein. Nutritionist and weight loss coach Mohita Mascarenhas said, “Many Indians think that things like Sattu , chickpeas, and chia seeds are rich in protein. In reality, these things contain very little protein, which cannot meet the needs of our body. The biggest thing is that we eat Sattu every day, thinking that they are protein-rich foods. Most Indians must have a bowl of Sattu next to their rice bowl. But Sattu do not contain as much protein as we think. In fact, a bowl of Sattu contains only 4 to 5 grams of protein.
Many people chew almonds as a habit. But it causes us more harm than good. Because it feeds the body more fat than protein.
A nutritionist has addressed the myths about protein bars. He claims that these costly protein bars have very little protein.
We know that chia seeds are a superfood rich in nutrients but Mohita claims that 4 tablespoons of uncooked chia seeds provide only 4 grammes of protein.
