how much protein in 100 gm moong dal - #22462
I am trying to figure out some stuff about my diet since I’m trying to eat healthier. Lately, I’ve been hearing a lot about moong dal and its benefits. The other day I totally bought 100 gm of moong dal, got super excited, then realized I don’t even know how much protein in 100 gm moong dal, or if it’s really worth the effort. I’ve been trying to include more plant-based proteins because I’m not eating meat right now, but it’s kinda confusing! I mean, I thought all beans had good amounts of protein, but I noticed some varieties vary a lot. I cooked the moong dal and it smelled really nice, but I just can’t shake this worry if I’m actually gettin enough protein from it. I’ve read that it can have anywhere from like 20 to 25 grams of protein in 100 gm moong dal, but then I saw different figures too, and now I’m like, what’s the actual number? Does the way I cook it affect how much protein in 100 gm moong dal? I’m trying to nail down my macro intake for all my meals, but if I can’t rely on the protein content, it all feels kinda pointless! How do I know I’m really getting enough protein in my diet if I’m just counting on moong dal and other veggie stuff?
