how much protein in 100g moong dal - #23288
I am really trying to figure out my diet since I’ve been feeling kinda sluggish lately. My doctor told me I should watch my protein intake and add more legumes to my meals, so I thought of cooking some moong dal. I've heard it's a great source of protein but I honestly have no clue how much protein in 100g moong dal. Like, if I cook a whole batch will it give me enough protein for the day or will I need to eat a ton of it? I was looking at labels in the store and it gets confusing. Sometimes I think protein is more or less in different types of dal. Last week, after I made some, it ended up being only a side dish and not filling at all. I'm like, am I missing something or should I be pair it with something else? I feel lost on this whole nutrition thing! Do I need to divide it with other types of foods to balance the protein intake? First, how much protein in 100g moong dal anyway? Are there better options or something? Just trying to avoid any crazy diets, but I want my energy up. Any advice would be super helpful, thanks!
