What 130g protein Looks Like (WITH NO MEAT)

Think you need to eat meat to get enough protein?

You don’t.

But because the protein digestibility is lower in plant-based sources, it is extra key we focus on increasing our protein intake.

Here’s how I’d hit 130 grams of protein in a full day of eating with no meat.

8 ounces seitan - 60 grams of protein
4.5 ounces tempeh - 27 grams of protein
¼ cup green lentils - 10 grams of protein
3/4 cup edamame - 10 grams of protein
1 scoop vegan protein powder - 20 grams of protein
2 tbsp nutritional yeast - 5 grams of protein

Whether you eat meat or don’t, these tips can help you bump your protein!

For anyone who is curious...According to my fitness pal
60g of protein from seitan 300 calories
27 grams of protein from tempeh 270 calories
10 grams of protein from lentils 145 calories
10 grams protein from edamame 125
20 grams from protein powder 100 cal
5 grams nutritional Yeast 35 cal

For a total of 975 calories from your protein sources.

This is so helpful cause I am trying to skew my diet more to plant based for heart health. Thanks for the examples!

[joeyjonesSoCal]

As a vegan, I truly appreciate this
🙏🏼🙏🏼

[georgiaclaire]

Super appreciate that this was also dairy free since allergies and intolerance are very high. Thanks!

[graygreysangui]

I've recently adopted lentils as a regular part of my diet because they are also a great source of fiber (about 15g I think.) I can cook them right along with the eggs poaching for Shashuka too.

So informative ❤❤ thank you 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽I'm struggling to understand the whole macro situation and how much protein in a meal 😮

[alicia_nicole]

Ive noticed that plant based sources are usually higher in carbs

[kunfupanda]

When I was vegan, I was so fat! My belly and chest were a barrel. Once I turned Keto, I lost my belly. I really want to eat vegan/vegetarian but there’s not enough options that are low carb.
