How a Vegan Gets More Protein Than You

[CarlinAnnArbor]

That's probably the most common argument I hear from people: "you can't get enough protein eating just plants."

I'm not a protein worshipper. Neither am I a bodybuilder. But I was actually surprised by how much protein I get in a day. This is my typical diet every day although it's not set in stone.

Breakfast
Protein shake: 54
Bowl of berries: 2

Work snack
Healthy cookie (Lenny &Larry): 16
4 oz pumpkin seeds: 40

Lunch
Sausage & mushrooms: 24
Salad: 10

Snack
Protein bar: 20

Dinner
Omelet with added tofu: 24

Total: 190

Ken's extra heavy Mayo, thick slice of ripe Roma tomato, thin sliced of Vidalia, dash of powdered black pepper and two slices of golden toasted pepperidge farms farmhouse white!! Pure heaven!

Sausage and mushrooms does not equal vegan, unless your sausage is the new version of meatless, lab grown sausage. They can get pretty close to the taste on a lot of meats but I'm not sure it is even that much healthier than just eating the real thing.

There are a hundred varieties of vegan sausage. All pretty pathetic if you ask me. There are times when I will go vegan for a couple weeks though.

A tomato sandwich is a thing of beauty. Especially with a good, homegrown tomato.

with added tofu:

Tofu is a PUSSY thing.
Who chooses TOFU........Just eat veggies and quit pretending that TOFU is meat supplement.

I HATE pork, I don't eat it because I don't like it.
No Political or Health Reasons, I just can't stand the SMELL.

Not "lab grown" but soy. And don't lecture me about the dangers of soy. I know this stuff better than you.
And yeah, it tastes great. I mix sausage and mushrooms with spaghetti sauce

I've never had that before. I'll try it this week. I'll have to use Ezekiel bread though. Not my favorite, but it doesn't spike my blood sugar.

Have you tried Beyond Beef breakfast sausage? It's delicious. I try not to eat that stuff as much as I used to.

Don't you have to eat big quantities of food for you daily caloric intake?

I know overweight vegans

It is really living though?

 

[Harpy Eagle]

I never understood why vegans try to hard to make their food look like meat, it is almost as if they know deep down inside that they really miss meat so they have to pretend.

Nobody takes a steak and tries to make it look like a carrot.

Ann eggplant grinder with olive oil and other veggies can offer a 1000 calories pretty easily. It's good too! Now if you want to go lacto....we can melt some mozzarella and top it off with
Reggiano! 2,000 calories...and paradise!

What's in the sausage?

I suppose that some folk still just enjoy the taste of murder, even if they think meat is murder.

As vegan activists go, however, a real pirate would sit down with the rest of the group at the table and break out a twig and some leaves and start munching on that and say, hey, ya'll can kis mah ass if you don't like it, while everybody else enjoys their sausages and frankfurters rather, than forward the appearance of conformity.


That's what a leader would do anyway...
