    Protein: Seitan is 58% the cost of chicken breast

    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...

    How do you reconcile the "we don't need that much protein!" attitude of veg*n communities with the "ALL THE PROTEIN!" attitude of fitness communities?

    Hi all, I did a search and while there's lots here on protein, I didn't see this question come up. I hope it's okay to ask here, because I feel like it's the only sub I've found that merges the veg*n communities and fitness communities and won't be biased in one direction or the other. I'm...

    How do you get 100+ grams of protein per day?

    1.8g x 80kg = 144g protein Even drinking my protein powder three times a day gives me only 60g. I am looking into body recomposition and that puts me around 2000 kcal per day. I love nuts but they are too calorie dense. How do you do it? Edit: don't really like meat substitutes but if there's...

However, I’ve overdone it the past two weeks and I’m sick of it. I don’t want to see another protein shake in...
