Since most fake meat is made from vegetable and grain extracts, doesn't that mean it's basically just an extra helping of carbs for vegans, and a worse source of protein than just straight beans?

>> No.5980648

it's usually made with vegetable protein, or wheat protein. it's pretty unhealthy though, just processed junk marketed as healthy because it's vegan. it also doesn't taste very good.

i wonder how many animals are killed by having to set up factories to make these foods, and the packaging, etc.

>carnist logic

Tofu, seitan, and tempeh aren't really "fake meat" until you treat them as such.

Also, straight beans are a good source of protein, don't give me that "complete protein" crap, no one eats only beans.

Stop giving meat eating people a bad name.

depends on the use. I pretty much only use TVP for sloppy joes. Meat alternatives generally suck so I just stick to vegetable centric cuisine. If I don't think I got enough brotein in a day I just eat a mess of peas sauteed with some thyme and black pepper. I hope the rest of veg crowd does not catch on or the price of peas will skyrocket.

lol i tried to find more non meat protein so i wouldnt have to eat multiples animals per day... only found peas, lentils, and beans... broccoli is ok as well but not really ideal... So im pretty sure all vegans/vegetarians already know about these very limited sources of protein..

I have not seen peas as a staple in many vegan or vegetarian diets. But if you're eating mostly vegetables, nuts, whole grains ect it's kinda hard not to get 40+ grams of protein a day. Having to eat things specifically for protein content (consistently) probably means you need to rework some of your staple foods. Hell some natty peanut butter on a single slice of whole grain toast is enough to put me over 50 grams on most days. I just fucking love peas.

I mean i just compared readily available produce by protein content... and i need at least 165 grams per day which i can only get by eating meat along with vegetables unless i want to chug protein shakes all day or eat beans lentils and peas all day while sitting on a toiled...i am not a weight lifter at all i exercise for about 20 minutes 3-4 times a week with moderate amounts of weight....i would actually start wasting away if i got less than l 85 grams a day...

What's this calculation based from? The number sounds highly inflated.

they make pea protein powder now. Not saying supplements are the way to go but if you're doing something so unnatural with your body that you require 85+ grams of protein a day why bother trying to stick to convention? Even when I was running marathons I'd rarely feel the need for more than 60 grams. Cells can only divide so fast. Have you considered upping your L-lysine and arginine, and not focusing on so many grams.

I read a lot on the subject and the average recommended intake amount was about .75 grams per pound based on multiple white papers and university athletic programs.. I just use .8 ... i weigh about 205 lbs... so its about 165... i usually get between 120-160 grams per day..I have no interest in becoming a vegetarian but i definitely want to reduce my consumption of meat.
