Unless you’re eating a ton of nuts and beans I fail to see how you get enough protein for 2gm of protein per lb of body weight
- Soybean: 36gm protein per 100gm
- Beef: 26gm protein per 100gm
Don’t forget to eat your beans with that meat.
Just so you know, you don’t need the m if you’re talking about grams. The abbreviation is g, so 100g would be 100 grams. The metric prefixes can be used to scale your number, so 100g = 0.1kg = 100,000 mg.
I’m 206 pounds. Realistically I should be closer to 190. So for soybean to provide 380g of protein I’d need to eat a little more than a 1.05 kilos, 2.3 pounds of soybeans per day. That’s an unrealistic number, especially after figuring in its endocrine disrupter issues and that the vast majority of soybeans on the market are grown with unsustainable herbicide practices. Plus eating the same thing every day is the fast track to being extremely unhealthy.
I’m not trying to argue one needs to eat meat but I am strongly suggesting that before you ever make a similar comment in the future you include way more than soybeans as an alternative. Lentils, peas, different types of beans, anything more than one. I’d probably not look at true nuts because those have their own issues with water usage. Peanuts are not true nuts. They offer 25.8g of protein per 100g. Comparable with beef but a 10th the water needed of almonds.
I avoid soy whenever I can because of the environmental and endocrine disrupter issues.
Avoids soy because of the environmental and endocrine issues, but eats beef which is worse for the environment and contains actual mammalian oestrogen
We got a dumbass carnist over here
@FauxPseudo @jarfil You don’t need 2g/lb of lean bw, though. The premise is *wildly* incorrect.
Irrelevant. Because I specifically said I’m not recommending meat but advised they include some alternatives other than soy. Reread what I wrote. I wasn’t saying meat is the way. I was saying that soy by itself is not the way. Other vegan options exist.
