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

[dawn16]

@cheekyogre I love potatoes it’s actually an effort to restore my intramuscular glycogen since I eat right after training

@dawn16 I'm not judging, just asking - is this healthy? Seems like you're not getting a lot of veggies

 

[dawn16]

@briehat I vary it up slightly for lunch and dinner. I was eating a TON of zucchini for a while. I eat bell peppers a lot too. I’m bulking right now so I don’t want too much veggie volume making it hard to eat a bunch. When I cut it’s almost too many veggies lol. Onions, peppers, broccoli, romaine, corn, rutabaga… everything

@dawn16 Wow I wish I had the time, dedication and economy to try this! Hats off to you

 

[dawn16]

@kakers Something is wrong with me; I genuinely like trying to play Tetris with my calories and macros lol. I also am content eating largely the same thing every day. An air fryer is a necessity for tofu!

@dawn16 Question! is it be bad if i eat tofu 3 to 4 or 5 times a day?

 

[dawn16]

@foreverbeach11 I’m not an expert but I don’t think so. There’s an estrogen myth with tofu.

It actually contains phytoestrogens which mimic the molecular shape of estrogen without any of its effects

 

[lovemeg101]

@foreverbeach11 No, under 14 to 20 servings a day is healthy

 

[briehat]

@foreverbeach11 This is based on nothing more than personal belief but I don't think it's healthy to eat anything that often. I'm all about a diverse diet

 

[foreverbeach11]

@briehat Its the only high protein vegan/vegetarian protein source available for me so i eat 3 times a day to reach the goal, 90 gms from 3 tofu(200gm each), 1 protein shake and ret is just from food which is around 15 to 20 gms depending on the food that day, so i want to quit protein shake and try to eat 2 more tofu for a day to completely get 150gms from tofu instead of depending on the food i cook that day to reach the last bit of protein goal,

@foreverbeach11 I don't think the quantity of tofu is bad so long as it's paired with other things (vegetables ect.), as I have a hard time imagining tofu alone would be a well rounded source of nutrients other than protein (just like those bodybuilders claiming they eat nothing but Chicken and Rice for every meal, where are the macro nutrients at???)

@enm0303

macro nutrients

Don't you mean micro nutrients

 

[enm0303]

@luxaeterna Whoops, yes, yes I do my bad

 

[luxaeterna]

@enm0303 But yeah ik what you mean, micro nutrients are really important you can't just live off of multivitamins and expect your body to cope

@jszy04 You've gotten a lot of great answers, but here is my complete guide to vegan protein. It has every main, supplementary, snack, and powdered protein source Ic an think of listed by proteins/calories. hope it is helpful!

@joeriley This looks really good. Thank you.

 

[ihavegreatidea]

@joeriley This was an awesome read! Thank you so much!

@jszy04 On average I (F-140lbs) get around 130-140g of protein with around 1800 cals.

A typical day for me:
-Protein waffles with MorningStar sausage = 30g of protein
-Protein smoothie = 33-37g of protein
-Hummus wrap with MorningStar chikn strip = 31g of protein
-Nugo slim protein bar = 17g of protein
-Protein pasta with Gardein beefless crumbles = 20-26g of protein

@caritasium protein waffles sound good, what brand?

 

[ponygals]
