A lot of guides online suggest some hard to get or not widely available foods (idk where to find tempeh and quinoa is a bit expensive, for example). But I'm kinda doing the math in my head and having a hard time meeting protein intake goals (probably about 150g per day at least). I did get a protein supplement and it will help I guess, but im not great at meal planning. For anyone who lifts and is vegan, what do you do?

    You can also make Seitan yourself at home, by 'washing flour', or just by buying 'vital wheat Gluten' flour.

    1 part flour (or besan (chickpea flour) for extra protein) to 3 parts gluten. Some veggie stock, garlic, and onion powder, and salt.

    Knead, rip into nuggets, steam 10 minutes, pan fry 2 minutes per side with a bit of sauce.

    'vital wheat gluten' is like, 77% protein by weight. That puts it just under 'whey protein'.

    The 'washed flout' technique I think gives better flavor/texture, but is more work.
