Broccoli has more protein than meat.. apparently

[SoftBandit]

Hey there. I hop you are all doing that extra excerise and eating those greens to shed some pounds! I found out today that, apparently, broccoli has more protein in it than meat. I thought I'd give it a go today with some free from breaded cod fillet, mini vegetable spring rolls and tartare sauce. In other words I'm cleaning out the fridge, haha!

I've never heard that SoftBandit I know it's very good for you though!

Your dinner looks delicious..

[SoftBandit 2 stone in reply to Minniewinny]

Thank you! What do you have planned for tonight :)?

[Minniewinny 5 stone Maintainer in reply to SoftBandit]

I've had Red Thai Chicken soup as I've had a fasting day, but it was lovely.

[SoftBandit 2 stone in reply to Minniewinny]

That sounds great :)! I hope you enjoyed it!

That looks and sounds delicious. We call it fridge or freezer roulette in our house . You can have some amazing combinations, quite a few of which you wouldn't want again 😱

[SoftBandit 2 stone in reply to Janecad]

Haha, so true! Normally I have to see what is going out of date and we just have that. We will have to see what we get tomorrow. I think I may have some carrots, beetroot and cauliflower cheese. That is definitely a roulette!

Colourful too!

[FarmerGeddun in reply to Janecad]

I've had that many, many times.

I'd check the source of that info. Broccoli is a brilliant food for vitamins and minerals, carbs, but protein? I think meat has 8-10 times as much, but also saturated fat.

Broccoli has a lot more PROTEIN PER CALORIE than steak, but you'd have to eat a heck of a lot more broccoli to get the same amount of calories/protein as the meat!

It's like saying would you rather carry a ton of feathers or a ton of coal? You want to say feathers, but a ton of feathers would fill a truck, but a ton of coal will only need a sack. 😄

Thank you for explaining that for me Hidden 😀

[SoftBandit 2 stone in reply to Hidden]

Haha! I understand now, thank you for clarifying that! :).

[fenbadger in reply to Hidden]

but less protein per gram?

This might or might not answer your question 😊😂😊

And fat is essential to protect our neurons.

I ate a ton of steak for supper but didn't have room for the ton of broccoli. The ton of feathers tickled my throat.

[Janecad]

Could be worse, for everyone, could be a ton of sprouts 💨
