It’s a no brainer that proteins are required for a healthy YOU but it is ensuring that you get sufficient amounts of it is that is vital. Medical experts agree that you need around 40–60 gms at least per person collectively through the day, depending on the sex and activity. Most people and I mean most people; think that this can happen only if you eat animal protein. Far from the truth, It is all about knowing how to add different proteins to meals that is important

For those with no Dietary restrictions. Since protein is required for growth & repair (wear and tear of new cells). Each and every cell of our body is made up of protein so it needs constant replenishment. Adding them, salad meals is a good way to consume the same. Addition of hard boiled eggs or mayonnaise , different cuts of meat lean or fat — cubed , shredded — grilled or roasted , fish , shrimps/prawns, crabs etc all not only provide protein but a totally different dimension to the salad. There are also a few exotic birds, their eggs and game meat that can be consumed for those who choose to.
