Is it true that spirulina has protein? I’ve been looking online for some sort of nutritional facts for spirulina, but haven’t found anything!
I have been putting a TBSP of spirulina into my morning smoothie, but I was hoping to find some other ways to use it.. anyone?
I have been [for the most part] following the 80-10-10.. HOWEVER, I lift weights and exercise regularly, and I’m trying to build a bit of muscle [nothing insane], so I’ve been aiming for a bit more protein, but still very little fat. Are there any good, low fat or nonfat sources of protein OTHER than greens? I usually have a nice big green smoothie [~32 oz or so] daily.. and it’s usually made with spinach and a piece of fruit.
Does anyone else have any recommendations/advice on building lean muscle and losing fat?

Here’s a link that gives you a free ebook by Mike Adams, author and Health Ranger.It’s about spirulina and chlorella being the healthiest foods on Earth and why.

I think I heard that seaweed is about 45% protein. Make sure it is really raw though.Sea Spaghetti is my favourite.

You can plug in any amount that you’d like. According to this site, 1 T = 4 g of protein.
Other good sources of protein:
Green Smoothies (If you need some recipes, please check out my site http://www.fountainofjuice.org/category/recipes…)
Hemp seeds
Sprouted Lentils/Alfalfa
I also hear that flax seed oil helps with muscle gain
Good luck!
Seeds are some of the best protein foods, especially hemp and flax seeds.
The algae are the most protein rich foods on Earth. They are around 60% protein by weight, much higher than meat. I eat spirulina, chlorella, and Klamath AFA
Bee Pollen is another food that is really high in protein.
