[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1 pound of super firm tofu has 70 grams of protein, and easy to eat in 2 meals. [/quote]

Every single day? And that’s still not quite enough… The folks saying it’s impossible or all vegans have eating disorders are crazy, but I think OP is deluding herself if she thinks there’s an easy trick here that doesn’t require her mental energy.

I actually echo an earlier poster that whether this is doable depends on whether it’s what the kid wants — both the high level swimming & the diet.[/quote]

1 Fairlife a day: https://a.co/d/b5E3QWF (26 gr protein)

1 serving tofu mock chicken nuggets (one serving 12 ge protein) https://www.target.com/p/applegate-naturals-family-size-chicken-nuggets-frozen-16oz/-/A-15389403 + 1 cup of edamame (17 grams protein) dinner

Glass milk with snack and breakfast (16 gr protein)

Cottage cheese (pizza bowl, blended and seasoned as a dip, plain, with everything bagel seasoning) 1/2 cup (12.5 grams protein) snack

Breakfast: 3 eggs + 1 slice cheese (25 grams protein) for an a scramble + 1 gr yogurt (17 grams protein)

Lunch: 2 cups of tortellini (example here 60 gr protein https://www.harristeeter.com/p/buitoni-spinach-and-cheese-tortellini-refrigerated-pasta/0002484211221)

This is just a sample…and it is at 187 grams of protein. This is rounded out with veggies and carbs and some fruit. You can make diff pasta or veggie chicken nuggets, etc for healthier versions

To add some more details:

Throw serving or 1 of mock chicken nuggets in air fryer til crispy, take 1-2 tortillas and add nutrient dense (not iceberg) leafy greens, shredded cheese (more protein), tomatoes, and other salad type items (veggies), add warm fake chicken nuggets and serve as burrito sandwich.  Do the same thing w/the nuggets on a salad (so it’s like a chicken tender salad) w/beans and cheese so again more protein.
