Are moong sprouts good for a gym diet?
Lean protein: 10 g for every 100 calories. Few foods give you more for the calories, which makes a high protein target much easier to hit, especially while cutting.
Most of its calories come from carbs (63%), then protein (32%) and fat (5%).
A gym meal usually aims for 25 g of protein or more, depending on your daily target. From this alone, that's 8 cups (about 250 calories). The same 25 g from soya chunks is about 170 calories.
