Legumes including beans, peas, lentils and peanuts are excellent plant-based protein sources. They also provide key micronutrients and fiber, while beans help regulate blood sugar levels. Enjoy legumes in soups, stews, salads, bean dips, veggie burgers and more. Nuts and seeds offer healthy unsaturated fats along with plant protein. They make great snacks but limit portion sizes due to high calories. Those with diverticulitis or irritable bowel syndrome may need to avoid or reduce nuts and seeds.

Dairy products supply protein, calcium, vitamin D and other nutrients to support bone health. Opt for low fat versions. Those who cannot tolerate dairy can meet their calcium needs through fortified plant milks, green leafy vegetables, calcium-set tofu and supplements as recommended by a doctor. Dairy intake should be limited on low-carb diets. Probiotic yogurt helps support a healthy microbiome.
