Galapagon@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks agoWhat do you suggest as an easy healthy source of protein?

The amino acids in plants come from proteins, too

Sure, but your explanation being completely incorrect damages your credibility

Legumes like beans, lentils, peas, hummus, chickpeas, Oats, quinoa, amaranth, buckwheat, whole wheat products, Tofu in its various forms, including silk tofu as egg replacement in pancakes, Other “meat substitutes” like seitan or sunflower seed mince, Nuts, nut butters, nut flour, Dairy products such as cottage cheese, joghurt, Soy milk
I mean for real, eggs are super unnecessary for a protein rich or healthy diet. I would argue that unless you literally want to treat yourself with a sunny side up or an omelette you shouldn’t be using eggs at all. I like eggs, but a dozen lasts us (family of 3) a month easily.

No I mean so I can fry it and get fat.
queermunist@lemmy.ml 4 weeks ago
Trust me, you can fry all those things and get fat.
volvoxvsmarla@lemm.ee 4 weeks ago
Oh then try falafels. Jesus I can’t bring myself to make falafels or something similar at home because you literally fry it in oil and you need to do that in order for the raw legumes to be not toxic.

I like to airfry beans and eat them as a crunchy snack.
For breakfast specifically, oatmeal isn’t a bad choice.

What kind(s) of beans? That sounds tasty!
queermunist@lemmy.ml 4 weeks ago
All kinds! Butter beans turn into chewy morsels, garbanzos become crunchy little nuts, and red/black beans become a little puffy.
I’ll toss them with some oil and chili lime seasoning and eat them by hand, put them on a saucy burrito or veggie wrap, crunch them up into chili, there’s all sorts of ways to eat them!

Seitan is also very high in protein, containing 75g of protein per 100g compared to 10g per 100g for scrambled eggs (although its not a ‘complete’ protein, so it should be balanced out with other sources).

Ignore the legumes suggestion, it’s nasty af and makes most people’s stomachs bloated and inflammed (which gives gas). Eat fish, nuts, artisanal cheeses (very low lactose compared to other cheeses) or even just home made jerky. Good for the brain and no bloating unless you have some diagnosed gut diseases.

Ignore the healthy food, eat old milk and dried mystery meat.
CherryBullets@lemmy.ca 4 weeks ago
Mystery meat? Are you ignorant? You can make jerky at home with freah meat yourself, that’s why I said homemade jerky. Gotta love vegans downvoting this out of ignorance. Artisanal cheeses are very good for you too. Legumes irritate many people.

You never eat vegetables, do you? Much of the world lives off legumes. Having these issues with their digestion is caused by a poor gut microbiome from eating an extremely low-fiber diet.
CherryBullets@lemmy.ca 4 weeks ago
I do eat vegetables, simply not legumes as they give me gas and bloating (and I’m not the only one it happens to, it’s so common, there’s a reason comedians joke about eating them and farting). Can we stop pretending legumes don’t cause gas and bloating? 😂 As if me pointing it out means I don’t eat veggies, gtfo here.
queermunist@lemmy.ml 4 weeks ago
In my experience your body gets used to high fiber content. It’s only when you don’t eat legumes regularly that they cause issues, now that I’m eating them several times a day there’s no issues.

The average American eats a dearth of fibrous vegetables.
The article you quote literally says what I said, so I’m not sure what you’re getting at. Your quote even points out that beans are not the only fibrous vegetable that causes gas when you don’t regularly eat enough fiber (brocolli is another non-legume example). If you kept reading, you would see:
Fiber is particularly difficult to digest compared to some other foods. If you suddenly start eating 1 cup of beans per day, that’s a big increase, and it may take some time for your body to get used to your new fiber intake. But as you continue to consume legumes regularly, your gas levels will eventually return to normal.
Btw it’s beans AND legumes in general that do this
Yes, beans are legumes, that’s why we’ve been using the word legume this whole thread

A - not everyone has issues with legumes, don’t project your personal issues on everyone. B - just take a beano pill beforehand if you do have issues.
CherryBullets@lemmy.ca 4 weeks ago
Many people fart with beans and legumes, it’s a minority that doesn’t and why should people take pills to eat food? If the food doesn’t mesh with you body, why force it down? I’ll never understand this. You can live a healthy life without legumes. This legume crusade is getting ridiculous 😂

You’re the only one on a crusade here, lol
