Changed my diet in 2001, so I am so used to all the questions...
In today's world we should be concerned with getting too much protein not too little. When I went vegan I kept a log to calculate how much I was eating , surprisingly sometimes double of what I needed
Thanks for this blog and I totally agree with your list. I also would like to add nuts, usually the easy protein if in the go: almonds, walnuts being the best for health benefits but also peanuts, macademia nuts, Brazilian nuts and pecans. Also don't forget seeds, pumpkin etc
If you want low fat, high protein and lots of fiber try broccoli, spinach, peas , brussel sprouts etc
I would suggest everyone go easy on the soy (everything in moderation and also less process food the better it is for your body) , but if you want to try "fake meats" I would buy fake sausages and links.
Field Roast brand has some GOOD sausages. And Daiya brand is the best for the fake cheese for those Boca or black bean burgers. Of course Tofurkey is great as well
Gardein brand has some good meatless crab & fishless products
Also many breads, ezikiel one of them, contains 6+ grains and can be high on protein. Whole Oats (not the ones in quick packages) provide 6 grams and are good source of fiber.
Few recipes I would suggest for people .. Caramelized brussel sprouts, Korean kimchi hot tofu soup; Protein pasta with spinach & broccoli
Hi there. awesome post. you're spot on when it comes to the protein debate its absurd. on my how to go vegan guide for dummies post i post almost all the stuff you mention here also for people to check out. so many useful brands out there today i gotta spread the info. I try to keep my fat moderate to low so i usually tend to leave nuts & seeds off my lists by default even tho they great plant based sources. im more of a nut butters fan if you gave me the choice. great recommendations, i've bout had them all at one point over the last two years. Thanks again for taking the time to read and comment, have a good one !
