How can I increase protein content in my diet?
Question
I am allergic to milk, eggs, soya and excess dal. I am an animal lover, so I don't eat chicken and fish. Therefore, I can get my protein content only from vegetables. I want to increase the protein content in my diet as I am suffering from hair loss. I eat vegetables, rice and chapatti for lunch and dinner. I have a glass of milk for breakfast (if I increase milk, it causes pimples). Please advise me how to increase the protein content in my diet.

Try incorporating curd, paneer, dry fruits (soaked) almonds, walnuts, etc., to increase your protein content. Also, have small and frequent meals for better digestion and absorption. Have one protein-rich food at one time, in normal serving size to prevent discomfort.
