dal contains how much protein - #23935
I am really curious about this dal thing and how much protein it actually has. The other day, my friend was saying how dal contains how much protein and that it’s super healthy. I usually rely on chicken and fish for my protein but I'm trying to cut back on meat for health reasons, plus I’ve been getting this weird feeling after eating it lately. I've been eating like, two cups of dal a week, trying to add it to my meals thinking it would help with my protein intake, but I'm not sure I'm getting enough. I saw a package that says one serving has 9 grams of protein, but does that mean every type of dal is the same? Like, on days when I make lentil soup, is that as protein-rich as the dal I eat with rice? And what about the carbs, am I getting too many carbs from dal? Sometimes I just feel lost when it comes to balancing my protein and carbs, especially when it comes to plant-based foods like this! Can someone explain to me how much protein dal contains, and if I should be looking for specific types or brands to hit my protein needs? Thank you!
