Protein without meat

[shirlene29]

My girlfriend is vegan. She is not that excited about all the chicken and tuna I have been bringing around. She shows me all the meat alternatives. Saitan tastes good and has 30grams of protein a 4 oz pack and costs $4-5. Tofu is another source but some believe that it converts to estrogen. Half a cup of tofu has 20 grams of protein. Half a cup of beans has 10 grams. They make soy protein shakes.. . My gf is 5'8" and 115 lbs at 28yrs so I am not complaining about her diet or lifestyle. For me.. It is easier and cheaper to eat animal proteins. She makes vegan pasta. I cook a chicken on the side and add it in. There are several vegan websites out there if that is the direction you want to go..

my endo suggested I not eat tofu or soy products because of estrogen conversion, also chicken skin...not that Id eat it anyway
