One of my mother's biggest concerns when I told her that I was dating a vegetarian and was eating a mostly vegetarian diet was that I wasn't getting enough protein. She thinks unless you eat a big hunk of beef a day then you will become anemic in no time. I was happy to find out that brown rice (one of my favorite all around foods that works for just about any time of day) contains 4.9 grams of protein. That is a good source for the 56 grams of protein men are supposed to get a day (and women are supposed to get 46). The next time you are whipping up that stir fry or making burritos skip the bleached white rice and use a good, hearty brown rice.
