I had been pescatarian for years. In 2020 I had to consume chicken due to economic conditions. I'd like to phase it out of my diet, but I need to maintain a high protein diet as I am currently going through puberty. What would you suggest, comrades?

Thank you. <3

    I'd recommend making seitan. You can buy a 4 lb bag of vital wheat gluten for around $20. I use this, which is apparently 23 grams of protein per serving, I usually make two servings.

    There's plenty of recipes online, most recommended boiling or steaming the seitan but lately I've been following this recipe where you pan fry it since I'm lazy.

    Wish I could give some tips on how to make seitan but frankly I suck at it and eat it purely for the protein without much enjoyment haha.

    I'm not vegan though so idk if this is the best affordable vegan protein source out there fyi. Just wanted to share.
