This food and your training
This food combines plant protein (9 g per 100 g) and fibre (5 g). Its amino-acid profile is best paired with grains (rice, wheat) to cover all essential amino acids: a staple of muscle-building vegetarian eating.
Its protein density makes it a staple of post-workout meals and a solid way to reach your daily total, spread across several servings rather than one meal.
With 5 g of fibre per 100 g, it also boosts satiety — an asset for holding a calorie deficit without hunger, and a support for digestion.
