@jamiem The environmental & crops thing drives me nuts. 85% of all crops (iirc) goes to feed cows etc...

@drobbyb Don't obsess over numbers. The recommendation is 1-1,6g/kg, depending on your muscle mass and activity. If you're a beginner, just keep going as you are right now and if you start to feel more sore or tired in your muscles it might be an indication you need more protein for your...

@stephenjsheridan A former colleague said that. I asked if she was thinking any nutrition in particular but no, just in general... I was able to put on 10kg of muscle mass whilst she was a stick figure, but l definitely gotta lack some vital macro/micronutrient

@mksjdb I've trained mma for a few years, long after l became a vegan. Don't take supplements besides the fortified oat milk, haven't had any problems.

@cammie22 ls vital wheat gluten already processed wheat? Sounds expensive.

@dawn16 Don't have a mixer, unfortunately. Plus with the vital wheat gluten, l might try it for some more festive occasion!

@kirkhaggerty Maybe a bit, but if someone would call me a soyboy, l'd invite them to the MMA cage with shooting gloves, quoting Mad Max: "Two men enter, one man leaves".

@dawn16 Oh, l had no idea! My brain kinda shuts off when it comes to specific amino acids, l just think of it like various protein sources.

@kk873 Huh, cool. l'm not well-read into amino acids, but sounds good that it has such high protein profile & DRI. Quick google said that Lysin is available in some doses in legumes, so l guess it's a good complement?

@dancingkati l tried with the "washing wheat"-method, not much work at all actually. Washing took some time, but l think it's because l did something wrong.

@rajeduraj04 Will definitely check it out, thanks!

l've always strayed away from "half-fabricates" (dunno what to call them), like tofu or tempeh and instead cooked from scratch. Until just now l thought Seitan was another soy product, so colour me suprised when it's from wheat and seems quite simple to do at home, so now l'm intrigued to expand...

@happymama58 Sure you don't mean kg instead of pound?

@dhatura I started to eat less and less to see how much l needed, how hungry l really was. Helped me drop 5kg without feeling starved. Next l replaced part of the portion with a low-calorie sallad (spinach, carrot & melon) and another 5kg without feeling starved or deprived. I also mainly avoid...

@happywifehappylife What an absolute idiot.... Seriously get a second, hopefully less biased, opinion.

@sandraovercomer Maybe the protein hype is some subliminal response to the whole "vegans can't get protein" thing?

@luvtogrow2 I don't count my calories (l do some rough estimates when l've changed my regular dishes enough), but how would you estimate the protein need? Would you do a body fat measurement and subtract that procentage of your total weight?
