Can you explain what you think is confusing about 1g per 1lb? I suspect you're cargo culting "never mix units!" without realizing that the advice is talking about denominating the same thing in different units (thus having to do conversion). I'd be curious to see your explanation of the mind bending and error prone nature of "ok, I weigh 200lbs and now I will ensure I get 200g of protein today" and the exact scenario…
Because if you're in a country that measures in metric you have to convert one side from imperial, and if you're in a country that measures in imperial you have to convert one side from metric.

#83This seems entirely expected and in line with previous research and understanding of nutrition because the animal protein meals had lower fiber. A less sensationalist way to phrase this would be "high fiber meals are more satiating when controlling for macronutrient content."

#84Vegan protein powder tastes pretty great. I use a Costco brand. You can add it to almost any meal. If you are lifting weights, its almost impossible to get enough vegan sources of protein to meet the 1g / 1 lb of body weight that is usually recommended. Actually, if anyone knows how to put together 150g+ protein /day on a vegan diet in under 2100 calories I would be interested. I would switch over at least a few of m…
> 1g / 1 lb Why would you mix units like this?!
Because Americans are slowly transitioning to metric, but still use pounds on scales.

For anyone else wondering what TVP is, it's textured vegetable protein (soy). It turns out I eat it all the time in microwave burritos, because it saves the manufacturer money to mix it with the ground beef.
what is funny is that there is no cheap TVP for sale in the stores...you can get the substitute meat patties (mostly soy) etc for sale in many grocery stores, but it is not cheap at all...costs considerably more than the cheapest hamburger, pork or chicken...if the food manufacturers can save money by using TVP mixed in with meat, then why is there no cheap TVP for sale in the stores ?
It's all about volume. I've noticed the beyond and impossible burgers are substantially more expensive than meat despite supposedly requiring much less resources to produce. Not enough competition or volume.

#86Anecdotally, my experience is that this is true however I get hungry earlier. So the net result is null.

This matches my own observations where swapping a pure 'bran' cereal for any other breakfast meal allows me to feel fuller while eating less. Also, subbing TVP for mince is also a way of increasing fibre and protein at the same time. After hydration TVP is almost double protein by weight compared to store-bought mince (at least where I shop), and it also has a good dose of fibre content, and no fat. Once again, I wen…
If only TVP were easy to buy worldwide. I suspect you're in the US where I've seen it offered cheaply in bulk. Elsewhere it seems unobtanium.
You can find it in health food shops or buy in bulk online. It keeps for ages, so it doesn't hurt to have extra. I'm currently in Australia. My local grocer has started selling it, though it's pricier than from other sources.

My local grocer has started selling packets for 15 AUD per kg. Cursory google shows I can have 5kg delivered for 30 AUD, about a third of the price.

#89This is an interesting subject. I wish I knew and understood more, so I can eat less meat and eat more healthily. My problem is that I’m Chinese and I live in Hong Kong. I’ve lived many years in Montréal before but I never picked up any “Western” culinary knowledge. Meanwhile, I get the impression that a lot of these nutritional studies seem to be based on Western diet, and there are ingredients that we Chinese are n…
It isn't exactly East Asian, but have you tried Indian food? A lot of it is plant-based since many Indians are vegetarian, and being an Asian cuisine, many of the ingredients used are also similar/the same to those found in other Asian cuisines. This YouTube channel might be of some use - https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCDbZvuDA_tZ6XP5wKKFuemQ. If you're dead set on only cooking up East Asian style food though, maybe try this channel instead - https://m.youtube.com/user/marystestkitchen.

#90Decreasing the amount of meat you eat is really not that hard, and it’s SO easy to replace it with some nice chunky blanched vegetables and a more beans and some more plant based fats.
This whole pandemic emphasised healthy eating in our family, and not only are we eating more healthy food, but household is happier, more balanced and there’s just a way better spirit in the house now.
And cutting back on meat was the first step to realising that it’s not really hard to do.
