NP. It makes me ill. So it’s bad for me. Also highly processed. I’d rather eat edamame.


Wtf...edamame IS soybeans. And tofu and tempeh are not highly processed. Maybe you mean the "fake meat" products?

The article spammer...... That you C. Schwab? None of those are credible sources, and dig into who funds those sites. You won't be surprised.

OP here. Well, this went off the rails. Thanks to those who actually answered the question; I appreciate your suggestions.

I have one orgain shake a day - 140 cal, 20 protein. Easy start.


Oatmeal - half oats, half TVP, fruit, nuts, seeds, about 18 grams of protein. Make it with soy milk to add another 10 grams of protein!


Veggie wraps - those mission low carb tortillas are 5 protein each so two of them plus tons of veggies and either tofu, seitan, or tempeh makes a 30 protein meal easily. I use silken tofu to make higher protein dressings, they’re great.


Morningstar veggie burgers are like 110 calories and 10 grams of protein! Add them to whatever you want, chop them up into pasta sauce or just wrap in a high protein tortilla.


Tofu stir fries, fruit smoothies with soy milk, huge salads with tofu and beans, the list goes on and on.


Try googling wfpb + protein. Don’t listen to the idiots, they’re all angry because their arteries are clogged with animal fats and the blood’s not getting to their brains.


Reading this made me nauseated. Soy is so bad for women.

Americans need to eat more leafy green vegetables, low-glycemic fruits, nuts, and whole grains, for heart health and to prevent diabetes. We are experts at eating protein rich foods--why the focus now?


That source is literally vegan propaganda.

Many plant based protein powders have been found to contain heavy metals, even organic brands. I would be wary of relying on them.

Protein is an essential nutrient, providing the essential amino acids the body needs to build its own critical protein molecules. But most Americans get far more than the roughly 0.8 g of protein per kilogram of body weight that the Dietary Reference Intake tells us we need. To translate, an adult weighing 154 lbs (70 kg) needs roughly 56 grams of protein daily. There’s about 30 grams of protein in a mere 3.5 oz of chicken breast (about the size of a deck of cards); about 20 grams in a half cup of tofu; and about 10 grams in a half cup of cooked beans. You start to see how easy it is to get to 56 grams, and much more, over the course of a day.

Protein in excess of what the body needs doesn’t turn into extra muscle, it’s simply excess calories. The healthy approach to protein isn’t, “the more the better,” but rather the better the protein-containing foods you eat, the better. It all comes down to quality foods and quality meals made from them.

When it comes to how protein is marketed, Jodi Leslie, registered dietitian and instructor at UH Hilo, says that “I think a lot of it is myth and money-driven.” In fact, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) says that protein deficiency is quite rare in healthy adults. If anything, Dr. Michael Greger, founder of NutritionFacts.org claims, “People are more likely to suffer from protein excess than protein deficiency… there is no reasonable scientific basis to recommend protein consumption above the current recommended daily allowance due to its potential disease risks.”

No one in America "needs" more protein.[b] But if you really want to get protein--go to McDonalds, KFC, Panda Express, Wendys, Chipotle, like every other American.


Go do a couple of months of 60-80 mile running weeks without sufficient protein and let us know how that goes for you. Plenty of people in America do in fact "need" more protein. And, it is also a great way to intake food that has a higher thermic effect. It is also patently false that you will have problems with your kidneys, unless you already have some ultra narrow health issue.


Who mentioned kidneys?

Who is running 60 to 80 miles a week? These people, is this who the OP's question is for? Less than 1% of the American population? Not the majority who eat school lunches, who east fast food at or on the way to work, those who eat sandwiches, pizza, etc with their kids at home? Those who, like most Americans, eat plenty of meat and cheese per day?


This compilation of words is not English.

You did write this, remember? “No one in America ‘needs’ more protein.”

No one? Anyhow, what’s with the weird high quality protein gatekeeping? So weird.
