Sporty people: Where do you get all of your protein?

[robbie11r1]

@reneaz Lentil tacos on high protein tortillas are my go-to!

 

[etsi10]

@robbie11r1 This sounds delicious

 

[thetower]

@reneaz tofu, chickpeas, lentils, and of course (as any other sport person vegan or not), from protein powders

 

[lmdooleyjr]

@thetower I always forget about lentils but they're SUCH a good option honestly and they're so easy to cook

 

[joeymorgan]

@lmdooleyjr And cheap. Got 25kg of red lentils for 59,99€.

 

[reneaz]

@thetower can't eat any chickpeas and lentils

 

[thetower]

@reneaz I’m sorry to hear that, may I ask just out of curiosity; why?

 

[reneaz]

@thetower IBS hehe I get very bloated and gassy and sometimes sick

 

[thewander]

@reneaz I get 200 grams of protein a day. I start my morning no with an oatmeal with two scoops of pea protein isolate. That’s 50 grams. Lunch includes a serving of home made seitan. That is another 50 grams. For a snack, I will have special k protein cereal with a scoop of vegan whey and soy milk. That is another 50 grams. The rest come from whatever else I eat for dinner and the other foods in my earlier meals. Hope that helps.

@thewander Isn’t Oatmeal with two cups of pea protein super thick or else very large? Do you make oatmeal first, then add protein and more milk? I’d love to start with 50g in the morning. My oatmeal gets me to about half that but it’s very delicious.

 

[thewander]

@kymbola I actually make it the night before and eat it cold but that’s just because I prefer it that way. I make just the oatmeal first and then mix in the protein powder in the morning. I add water to get the right consistency.

@thewander Is the special K protein cereal vegan? They have vitamin supplements that are not vegan as far as I know.

 

[lmdooleyjr]

@kidj Yeah I'm pretty sure they use lanolin ?

 

[kidj]

@lmdooleyjr Oof we got downvoted sometimes truth hurts I guess?

 

[thetower]

@thewander Special K barely has any protein, it is just carbs and fibre, how is that 50 grams with a scoop of protein powder that is usually no more than 25g at most?

 

[robbie11r1]

@thetower They make a special protein cereal that has like 20+ grams of protein.

 

[thetower]

@robbie11r1 Oh yes, I’ve seen it but it has dairy milk which is why I didn’t buy it, and shouldn’t be here to be honest

 

[robbie11r1]

@thetower It has no dairy milk https://www.specialk.com/en_US/products/cereal/protein-cereal.html
Premier Protein cereal is even higher protein though

 

[thetower]

@robbie11r1 Unfortunately it does in the UK https://www.waitrose.com/ecom/produ...s-seeds-breakfast-cereal/693481-684265-684266

 

[robbie11r1]

@thetower Wow that’s a totally different cereal for you!
