Thank you for your quick response doctor. I do not eat meat that much because I get constipated. Any advice where I can get more protein aside from meat? Also, I don't eat hard food like nuts due to my braces. Help.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
I do understand. Try below:
1. Eggs Protein : Egg white is a complete protein.
2. Pulses :All types of Pulses are good source of proteins
3. Fava beans and soya beans :Are the richest source of proteins.
4. Nuts and seeds
5. Not only are dairy foods like milk, cheese, and yogurt excellent sources of protein, but they also contain valuable calcium, and many are fortified with vitamin D. Choose skim or low-fat dairy to keep bones and teeth strong and help prevent osteoporosis.
