Does anybody else get that jumpy sorta feeling in a muscle or in your intestines?
My sister, the doctor, said it's a deficiency in my diet. The only thing I'm really deficient in is protein. I eat a handful of nuts in the morning, but that's about all the protein I get during the day.
I'm a vegetarian, so I don't eat meat.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I get small tightening muscle spasms when I eat too much of certain processed foods. If I feel those spasms at night, I stop and think what food I overindulged in that day, and avoid eating too much the next day.
It's probably a reaction to some chemical in the food.
For example, I got mini spasms after I ate two slices of bakery chocolate cake instead of my usual one slice.

It’s not likely that it’s protein deficiency. And just because you’re vegetarian doesn’t mean you will lack in protein. Everything has protein and if you eat enough calories chances are you will get sufficient protein. Did you get your blood work done to determine what you are deficient in? That is definitely where to start.
I have been vegan for 9 years and I’m definitely not lacking in protein. If you do need or want more protein, there are many online sources that list protein rich vegetables and other vegetarian/vegan sources. You can also try protein supplement powders added to smoothies.
