Hi Jo, welcome! Well what works well for me is not depending on any one source

for protein at my meals. I like to mix them up, so today I am having a burrito

made with beans and cheese, and then a protein cookie on the side (homemade with

protein powder and peanut butter). I know you don't eat cheese, but do you eat

other vegetarian proteins besides beans like eggs, tofu, seitan, tempeh?

Hi All

wanted to introduce myself. I have been doing the programme for several months

now, am on step 2 & planning step 3. I do eat a little fish but prefer a veggie

diet. Any advise regarding how to get in enough protein would be most welcome.

Breakfast is easy as I stick to soya PP shake. I don't eat cheese, do have soya

& beans & pulses but find the quantities to get enough protein a bit daunting,

adding in the brown as well is very filling, what do you all do? I need 27g

protein for lunch & dinner.

Thanks

Hi Jo P,

 

 

I am relatively new to the program, and I am really depending on " meat

analogues " like tofu, as well as more processed things like veggie meats and

sausages. Personally, I am not comfortable eating these processed foods for the

long term, but they are certainly helping in the short-term as I start preparing

for and cooking on a regular basis. Hope that helps!

hi Jo

 

I am veggie apart from lunch.

 

Breakfast is sorted via PP as you say.

 

For dinner I sometimes mix protein sources as Heather describes; I love tempeh

with a spicey chickpea stew & rice & roasted veggies.

 

Other times I do two different types of lentil curries so that the colours &

textures are different.

 

When I was getting used to the higher volume of bulkier foods you mention, I

made sure everything was delicious & sought out variety within the types of

foods I chose.

 

Have you discovered soya chunks or shapes? I got a load of soya shapes from a

local Freecycler, & they marinade beautifully in a chilli broth for example. I

wouldn't want them everyday but they make a nice change.
