A Lot of Protein

Alexa: Hi Martin. You look unwell. What’s the problem?

Martin: Yes, Alexa. I’m not feeling OK. I think I should drink some water. I played football but didn’t drink any water.

Alexa: Oh, that’s too bad. Here, have some water.

Martin: Thanks. Water is very important. Also, I think I’m not eating well these days. I only eat vegetables, fruit and grains.

Alexa: But they’re healthy. I don’t think there’s a problem with your food.

Martin: My mum says I should eat protein too. I don’t like eating meat or chicken.

Alexa: Well, you can eat some beans. They have protein too.

Martin: Right, but they haven’t got lots of protein.

Alexa: Then, you should try seafood. Eat fish! It’s got protein and it’s very healthy.

Martin: That’s a good idea. Fish is expensive, but I like it.
