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

    As far as fake meat products, the best deal I've seen are Tofurky brand vegan sausages.

    A lot of vegan meat products are intentionally marketed as low-calorie because they're trying to appeal to American dieting culture, which is annoying when you're a frugal vegan and you want food that has a high ratio of macronutrients per dollar. But Tofurky said "fuck it, put wheat gluten and canola oil in it." These things have 260 calories (and 24g of protein) per link, and a pack of 4 links sells for 5 dollars at wegmans (cheaper than walmart), which is comparable to the price of plain tofu in terms of calories per dollar and grams protein per dollar.
