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
Along with all the other great answers here, I'll just add a piece of trivia I like bring up whenever anyone is worried about protein:
Per calorie, spinach has more protein than beef. If you're getting enough calories and eating a reasonably wide variety of foods, protein is literally not an issue, because vegetables have protein in them.
And, of course, :bean: Eat lots of :cool-bean: Mainly because they're delicious, but also they're full of fiber and protein and micronutrients and everything good.
Per-calorie is kind of a weird metric, especially when comparing something high in fat to something low in fat, but it still tells you that if you ate nothing but spinach for a day, you'd easily get enough protein.
Mustard, collard, and dandelion greens (probably others too, I just listed those because I'm gonna pick some from my garden to make saag) have similar protein and carb content to spinach. Kale has even more.
