      What? You are either 1. underestimating protein intake or 2. not eating enough calories. Even 2000 of cucumbers (YES, CUCUMBERS) will give you 80+ grams of protein. If you want to eat tons of protein just eat tons of soy and legumes, both are very high in protein. You can also try nuts and seeds which also have a decent amount of protein.

    @yuukifenia1611 8 місяців тому

    These are extra adds you can do but generally there's a lot of whole foods that just have protein. Beans and legumes are pretty big ones like chick peas and kidney beans, nuts often have it like Almonds and Peanuts, many fruits and vegetables have them sometimes a lot of protein too. Be intentional and look up the foods available to you. While I don't goal a certain amount of protein I've found after looking it up, a lot more food than I thought had protein. I'll just add an avocado to something sometimes for some added nutrition.
    One issue with the beyond meat and alternatives are that they're super processed with a lot of salt and preservatives. They're fine generally but if they're your main source you might end up with other issues. There's also ways to make your own meat alternatives vegans have found like vegan chicken that tastes like chicken.
    Biggest advice I have is if you're trying to find vegan / vegetarian options look at the cultures that have been doing so for years. Many Indian cultures for example, have been vegetarian for generations and have dishes which get plant based protein or a legume heavy diet. Use that as a good source of info. Some easy meals like Chole or Rajma are extremely healthy and tasty. If you're not inclined to cook they come in easy meal packs like Gits where you just boil the pack and serve.
    Hope it helps!

    Not all grams of protein are equal. Just because something like lentils has x grams of protein doesn’t make it equivalent to the same amount of protein from eggs, chicken, meat, or fish. You’d likely need to consume many more calories and still would end up with a worse amino acid profile.

    I'm vegetarian. Basically I do this, but I eat at least 1-2 eggs almost every morning (omlettes, sandwiches with egg cheese and fake sausage, scrambled, etc) and I consume a lot of milk and cheese, also very high in protein. Vegetarian is a much easier option since dairy has tons of protein, but vegan is fine as well. Fake meats should be closely inspected though because some, especially tofu, can be very high in soy which is definitely not good for muscle growth.

      Hey, can you say why soy is not good for muscle growth? I'm female and recently started watching my protein intake as I try to preserve my muscle&bone density while losing weight. I literally just bought soya protein powder (and a wpc powder😊) just a few days ago to help me get my protein 😅

    • @KonnorHartung
      @KonnorHartung 3 місяці тому +1

      @wyclefohara4169 Soy can increase estrogen and decrease testosterone in your body. Testosterone is very helpful for muscle growth so lots of soy can decrease growth. Mainly this is a problem for men, since estrogen is a natural hormone for women and it really doesn't disrupt natural hormone levels, but too much soy is believed to slow muscle growth because of its high estrogen content.

    Morningstar Farms makes some very tasty meat alternatives that have the best macros I've seen for fake meat products. A little pricy compared to animal based proteins but being vegan is so cheap in general that you can spurge on your protein sources. Overnight oats + protein powder can also be a great high protein meal/snack if youre sick of shakes.
    Edit: soy curls (basically TVP that hasn't been processed to make oil first) have an amazing chicken like texture and are the best eating experience for any vegan protein source I've ever tried. Super flexible and can take on any flavor, just use the vegan broth/bouillon of your choice to rehydrate them.

      Unless someone has serious, life threatening allergies to animal products, I don't think anyone is healthier eating a diet completely void of animal products. Our bodies need nutrients, vitamins, and amino that are not in a vegan diet (the list of important ones is at least 14 to 15 missing in a vegan diet).
      Alot of people say cholesterol is bad for us, it's actually something our body needs to function properly. Our hormones, brains, nervous system especially.
      There's good cholesterol and bad cholesterol. On a vegan diet you get absolutely zero of any of it.
      Bio availability is a huge part of why veganism isn't something I think is healthy for anyone. Those vegan nut milks are fortified with calcium and they like to advertise it as just as much if not more calcium than milk. Fortified calcium is not the same calcium in dairy.
      Fortified calcium in large amounts can contribute to having serious issues like kidney stones. I was vegan about 5 years, from 2014 to the end of 2018 and I struggled with severe anemia and several different vitamin deficiency issues that wouldn't improve. I tried eating enough vegan sources of the things I was low in, nothing corrected my severe anemia until I stopped being vegan. I was either severely anemic or borderline most of the years i was vegan.
      Not to mention that soy is a very common main protein source for vegans and soy is a phytoestrogen that mimics female hormones. It can manipulate your hormone levels and isn't good for women and definitely not good for men.
      It really messed with my health and deeply regret ever going longterm vegan. It might be fine short term, but it's not worth the problems it can cause down the road
