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
A while ago I worked out what I consider to be a pretty minmaxed recipe for vegan nutrition. Basically, every 2 days I make a loaf of bread in the bread machine, substituting defatted soy flour for about half of the flour. Soy flour is expensive if you buy it retail, but if you buy a 50 lbs bag (https://shop.honeyville.com/bakers-soy-flour-50lb.html) it's pretty cheap. I also make hummus with half a cup of soybean oil (aka "vegetable oil") in it (good source of essential fatty acids). 1 batch of hummus (i.e. 2 cans of chickpeas) will last 8 days. I also take a vegan multivitamin every 2 days, and because my job burns a lot of calories I drink about 1/2 cup of sugar dissolved in water while I work (buzz buzz im a bee).
That's my breakfast and lunch every day, which gives me >1700 calories, >50 g protein, and >40 g fat for less than $1.50. I could eat the same thing for dinner but I usually just eat normal food instead.
