A lot of guides online suggest some hard to get or not widely available foods (idk where to find tempeh and quinoa is a bit expensive, for example). But I’m kinda doing the math in my head and having a hard time meeting protein intake goals (probably about 150g per day at least). I did get a protein supplement and it will help I guess, but im not great at meal planning. For anyone who lifts and is vegan, what do you do?
Seems like the bases are covered here, but to reiterate:
Eat legumes: beans, lentils, chickpeas, peanuts. These are your protein staples. Chili, pots of beans, throw it in a tortilla or eat with rice so you get all your amino acids for a complete protein.
Tofu, TVP (very cheap at Mexican and Asian grocery), “soycurl”. These are processed legume products and they are also affordable and high protein. They need kind of a lot of seasoning.
Fake meats: beyond, impossible, Morningstar, gardein. These are quite expensive and processed but high in protein. Taste good out of the box so they’re great “too lazy to cook” meals
Protein shake: sure why not.
