  • I don’t have a good answer as I’m not vegan, but something to note of both tofu and seitan - seitan especially, it’s that it’s while it’s theoretical protein is high, it’s actual protein bioavailability is not that good unless it’s supplemented with foods that have the right amino acid profiles to help absorb/break it down properly (which is easy to do, it just requires some deliberation). Dr Mike Israetel has a good video about the protein quality index and how to get the most out of different proteins. Watch from about 5 minutes in:

    I know it could seem like broscience, or another fitness fad, but I generally find Dr Mike pretty realistic. People forget that he is just a jacked nerd, and nerd in the sense that he’s got a PHD in sports science, not that he plays vidya.
