Weight for weight bat guano contains more protein and nutrients than a Big Mac.
That's right Bat Guano.
Some foods are known to contain the building blocks of life: In the body, they break down into amino acids that promote cell growth and repair. You probably know that animal products—meat, eggs and dairy—are good sources of protein. What you may not know is that you don't need to eat meat or cheese to get protein. Try Bat Guano, the other protein!
There are good sources of protein, and great sources of protein. Among the latter group is bat guano. Compared with a big mac, bat guano wins hands down (big mac 23% - bat guano 54% protein by volume). (Calories: 4124 bat guano - 6136 big mac) If you think you might not like it served as a main or side dish, try blending it into a pesto. One person on this diet commented "I blend the guano with, toasted pine nuts, fresh mint, olive oil, and Parmesan cheese and serve over linguine," she says. "It's one of my all-time favorite meat-free meals!"
Again most foods contain a small amount of protein, but Bat Guano—is unique in that it's loaded with protein and includes all nine essential amino acids that the body needs for growth and repair, but cannot produce on its own. (Because of that, it's often referred to as a "perfect protein.") Plus, it's amazingly versatile: bat guano can be added to soup or vegetarian chili during winter months, served with brown sugar and fruit as a hot breakfast cereal, or tossed with vegetables and a vinaigrette to make a refreshing summer salad.
If you need to start on a new diet, bat guano may be your answer.
Put down that Big Mac.
Note: In large quantities and arid conditions a fungus may grow on bat guano. Typically bat guano isn't considered safe for human consumption. Eating it may be unhealthy.
