    Where is just regular soybeans or soy protein? I can't be the only sicko who eats soy curls and makes patties and meatballs out of wheat gluten

    Do they make textured defatted peanut flour products thinking-about-it

    edit:

    Peanut-based TVP is produced in China where peanut oil is a popular cooking oil. (Wikipedia)

    I need to go to China

      Never tried peanut flour but PB2 is like the only vegan protein powder brand that is actually good

    Now imagine this graph if they removed all the meat subsidies and put them into veggies instead...

    I'm surprised peanuts are that high in protein, but the rest of the peanut is fat so it's too calorie dense to use for protein goals if you eat badly otherwise.

    I usually use g of protein/calorie to evaluate workout/diet food, while trying to keep relatively low cost.

    Tofu/soymilk has been pretty good to me, but it's hard to hit protein goals vegan without supplement. Vegan protein powders function fine even though I use brown-rice protein which is terrible-tasting. I prefer soy protein powder, but I eat too much soy otherwise and want to balance my amino acids because I heard that's good to do.

    Granted it's verging on toxicly masculine but I've taken to challenging people who say they need to eat meat "for the protein" to an arm wrestle and I have not lost yet

      im pretty sure whey is generally cheaper in terms of workout powders, but yeah, most people that care for the protein just want it to be not vomit inducing and cheap as possible

      im personally not like a next level athlete or anything. peanutbutter is fine for making my ass fat and muscular at the same time. i usually get the 100% peanutbutter kind what has no additives and skim the oils off for curries.

    (Maybe) stupid question about chia seeds: I read that they can have a high load of heavy metals and that you should not eat too much of em. How much is okay?

      unfortunately that is the case for pretty much everything, no amount of lead is ok though
