@fujimaki_toru Oh, sure, a significant number of people think one needs animal protein or the nutrients in eggs and so forth, or that soy isoflavones will feminize a man or increase risk of breast cancer in a woman. I'm surprised you haven't encountered this on Reddit before--it's widespread. If...

@dawn16 Yeah, the only issue with beans, pasta, quinoa, etc is that they all have a lot of carbs too so though you're saving on $$ you're spending on calories. It's like that software vendor joke--fast, cheap, or good: Pick any two. In this case, it's like Cheap, Low-Cal, High Protein: Pick...

@dawn16 Thanks. It seems like it might be very challenging to be a) vegan, b) losing weight, and c) getting enough protein for optimal muscle growth--or even maintenance--without d) things getting expensive due to the need for vegan protein powder or just more tofu or whatever.

@dubschanging As I said in my post, I'm doing 300 days in the gym.

@justaguy1212 Great, you can link me to the studies that establish that?

@yeshuabless1 I don't think you're reading what I wrote. What about what I wrote made it look like I am after anything easy? I'm in the gym 300 days a year and am trying to math the hell out of this. That said, would it be bizarre, in a world in which the most unbelievable amount of information...

@yeshuabless1 There could be, easily. And Google is so not your friend here.

[This overlaps slightly with a previous post of mine from >1 month ago, so sorry about that.] My goal is to gain muscle mass and want to do this in the most effective, efficient, cheap, lazy, and tasty way possible. Here are my beliefs as of now: I want to hit at least 130 g of protein every...
