What is a good source of protein for vegans?
I am flexitarian just to diminish my impact. But my main source is from cottage cheese / yoghurt and the alike.
To be honest, I am vegan for over 12 years and my main source of protein at the moment is Tofu (I airfry a whole diced package, 20g protein per 200g), or eat soy chunks, soaked in hot water and pan fried (from the local indian store, 19g protein per 40g dry chunks). Also nice is gluten powder (also called seitan), which is wheat protein isolate and is excellent to be transformed into your own meat substitute (also sausages). That has 24g protein per 30g of dry mass, but for consistency I’d recommend mixing it with something like crushed beans or chickpeas, otherwise it’ll be very elastic.
Otherwise I love the taste of the Orgain plant based protein, and of course, as mentioned by other people, eating a variety of lentils, beans, nuts or chickpeas helps to get the extra you need (the first paragraph is to fill up in the evening if you didn’t have enough during the day)
That’s true.
But for cheap, readily available, plant based and often short traveled food with decent amount of protein it always struck me as hard to beat.
Easy to cook, and can be eaten cold. I usually make it into overnight oats with nuts and Greek style yoghurt (tho then it’s no longer vegan.)
No. But probably diluted. But if you drink all the liquid it’s suspended/dissolved in you still get all.
Its just that nutritional information is given for dry.
Cooking it will probably denature it (unfold it so to speak) making the amino acids more available. But all there
Not a vegan, but plant proteins are highly abundant in anything like lentils, beans, rice, nuts, the thing is they aren’t complete proteins, for the most part, so you need to make sure whatever your eating is paired with a complementary amino acid profile. Generally if you’re eating beans or legumes then pair them with a grain or rice. Seitan is a great source of protein if you pair it with the right things because the only amino acid it’s not providing is lysine.

Hell dry oatmeal has 10-17g/100g if my memory serves me right.
Yeah, oats are really great an hour before a workout, or if you still have capacity for carbs, but all other sources have less carbs per protein.

Does the protein disappear if you get it wet?
You think men on the internet have experience getting something wet?
No. But probably diluted. But if you drink all the liquid it’s suspended/dissolved in you still get all. Its just that nutritional information is given for dry.
