Vegan foods with very high kcal-protein ratio

[car356]

Do you know some vegan foods that are low in calories and high in proteins? Textured vegetable protein has about 15 grams of protein per 100 kcal, seitan has 20 grams and pulled oats (this is Finnish thing I guess) 13 grams.

More foods like this would make cutting a lot easier!

@car356 I think tofu is supposed to be pretty good

@car356 I cook dried lentils for my daily protein intake, I eat a lot of nuts/seeds aswell, only they're are rich in calories.

@car356 Lentils are magic. Dirt cheap, tasty, very high in protein.

There's also tofu, seitan, protein powder, beans, etc

@car356 No plant has a protein content of over 35% of kcal, and that's just edamame or soybeans. But it seems you are fine with eating processed food so in order from least processed to most processed your options are: tofu/tempeh -> seitan -> protein powder. If you are just looking for new meals because you are bored with what you are eating I can recommend this website:
