Protein: You're Eating It All Wrong

If you only think of grilled chicken, eggs, or protein bars when you think of protein, then you're missing out on all the other healthy forms of plant-based protein like tofu (that's used to make these stuffed shells), nuts, seeds, hemp hearts, legumes, whole grains, and veggies. These offer fiber that Leslie said "can also help reduce heart disease, cancer, and help with weight control." Likewise, if you're vegetarian or vegan, it's also important to eat a variety of plant-based protein sources in order to get the nine amino acids that aren't manufactured by your body.
