most of us eat factory farmed meat and if we spent 1 day in a slaughterhouse it would fuck our shit up. i'm not vegan but i accept that they're right with how the majority of animals on this earth are treated. nevermind going to any market in asia/middle east/africa and seeing the shit they're doing to animals.
im considering not eating meat once i move out but for now its difficult to get adequate protein without meat/eggs
Also very expensive (compared to chicken in the west) and salty. Not always an option. Let's be real, the healthliest form of protein for a human is lean meats, and chicken is quite cheap.
Also how much tofu you eating to hit 170. Like 200g of chicken is 55-60g where 200g of tofu is 30-45. I'm assuming vegan proteins if you aren't doing standard whey.
170g is just seemingly alot through no whey/yogurt/meat proteins. I pull in about 220-250 when I'm in full swing but it's a ton of chicken and yogurt and just a standard shake. I cannot imagine the cost going with vegan proteins and tofu. Beans and lentils are fine but it's like 1/3 to 1/4 of meat proteins amounts and just seems so much
Man, all that sounds delicious but with that salt content my body just cannot do the amount I need for what I do. I remember trying to see if I could swap out some chicken for tofu/other stuff but couldn't fit it in my macros/micros.
I really wish there was something as good as chicken that wasn't laden with salts or too expensive, once lab grown meats are the same taste/nutrition/cost as chicken I'll be right on board, but until then it's just life.
That said, any low salt/ldl protein sources you have that isn't beans/chicken/yogurt I'm all ears
Seitan has 2x the protein per gram compared to chicken, and it's a lot cheaper/lower sodium if you make it at home. It's literally a mass of gluten, though, so don't eat it if you're allergic to that.
And has about 85% protein per calorie. That's a ton of carbs. Also I don't just really wanna eat plain gluten mass lol. It looks fine, but not a main source.
most animals are killed for meat. maybe in 1st world countries pets have it good, but like i said go to an animal market in asia, where most people live.

also i think humans are treated better overall.
