Now do non-soy based protein (except for peas all your suggestions are soy based). Some can’t do soy.

I would cut out all grains and not worry so much about carbs. A good veg diet will incorporate all the wonderful plant carbs.

OP here. My doctor suggested 80-100 grams a day. It seems impossible!! I met with a dietitian but she's not a chef, she can give me general ideas, but I'm not finding it particularly helpful.

80-100 is not super high.

Breakfast - 6 oz nonfat Greek yogurt is 18g protein and 100 cal. Add a tablespoon or two of hemp/flax for a couple more grams.

Lunch - salad w/ 1c beans is 15g protein for the beans alone. See also lentils, tofu. Add a half cup of quinoa and you are at 20g.

Snacks - string cheese and nuts. 12g. Or soy milk smoothie with handful of oats. Or edamame.

Dinner - Lentil soup - 20g

That’s 85g without counting other ingredients you could add to each meal.

Actually, tempeh, seitan, just egg are not soy. But to add- beans, quinoa and other whole grains (barley, farro, etc)

I frequently just dump a package of tofu in a nonstick pan, add a few tablespoons of oil, and let cook for 10 to 15 minutes during every 5 minutes or so. Turn it off, add some soy sauce and whatever other flavoring you want. Takes about 2 minutes total hands on time.

This was brought up before, but so many of these are so based.

What about people who can’t eat a lot of soy?

Is a vegetarian diet a poor choice for those who can only consume minimal soy?
