Plats végétariens : tableau des calories

Many vegetarian dishes are a good source of nutritional value but people following a vegetarian diet need to be careful to make sure they get enough protein. Refer to the calorie calculator for your favorite vegetarian dishes to determine the calories and nutritional information.

Vegetarian Protein

Protein is an incredibly important part of a vegan diet because it helps to promote cell growth and repair – it is also digested more slowly than carbohydrates to keep you feeling fuller longer. Some popular sources of vegan protein that you may find in vegan dishes include green peas, quinoa, and nuts and nut butters. A 1-cup serving of green peas contains nearly 8 grams protein and a similar-size serving of quinoa has the same amount. Nuts and nut butters contain about 160 calories per ounce and 5 or 6 grams of protein.
