@eagleeyepro I get itchy when a plane flies overhead

@peasantgirl They're probably not doing themselves any health favors either... And to you as well!

@peasantgirl Why should an incomplete protein not be one of a person's primary sources? I agree that other protein sources are needed in similar quantities, and I don't think anyone is going to eat seitan at every meal. But I also don't think anyone eats chicken as their sole source of protein...

@adamastos That's a good source and good info, thanks for sharing

THERE IS A DOWNSIDE TO EATING SEITAN HOWEVER That's having to tell your omni friends about it. "Satan?"

@mrassassin777 The one I linked to in the post tasted good to me. I'm also eager to try some of the others people have posted here

@dawn16 I find it easy to eat a pound of quinoa or rice and more dense veggies like broccoli or squash edit: okay, not easy, but do-able

@dawn16 I'm not sure I understand... You want a pound of just gluten per meal? That's 350g of protein. A pound of seitan would be less because it's mixed with water and other ingredients, but then it won't be $4.50 (and that's still way too much seitan). Or do you mean a pound of food in...

@ghassen I bought it on amazon

@jdepps I think I've bought tempeh for $3 for 8 oz, $1.20 per serving with 16g protein per serving, or $0.075 per gram of protein. That's a lot more costly than making your own seitan but I'm sure if you knew how to make your own tempeh (or tofu for that matter) it would be much more comparable.

@dawn16 How have you cooked it? I've only tried baking but I've heard good things about simmering it in water

@bellab I might get this if I can think of a good place to store it. Thanks!

@clau Thank you, and you're right: she thinks she suffers from "gluten belly"

@ilovejesus1971 I make fun of one of my roommates for her anti-gluten fears. When I bought this giant bag of pure gluten I put it in her bed to find and have nightmares about

I did some simple calculations based on nutrition labels, a recipe I use, and google. I use Anthony's Vital Wheat Gluten which is $18 for 4lbs (1.81kg) or $0.99 for 100g. At 77% protein by weight, that makes vital wheat gluten $0.013/g protein. Chicken breast averages $3.18/lb in the U.S., or...
