I got some TVP from the bulk bin at the co-op tonight to try it out. Thank you for sharing!

These are the numbers I track too :). The whole protein thing has gotten so out of control! I like your doctors approach, I was told at least 120 grams by a nutritionist and that is a lot if you’re not relying on meat and supplements. (I do eat meat but don’t want to be beholden to it, also watching cholesterol etc.) I’ve been aiming for 90-120 but 20-39 per meal feels more gentle and doable.

Meanwhile everyone keeps seeming to come back to the Mediterranean diet, which has less focus on meat, and I just saw an article about how plant protein is generally better for you than meat. The whole thing makes me go 🙃😵‍💫 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Question for you if you don’t mind—do you worry about saturated fat in plant products? That was downplayed by the last person I talked to so curious what your take was.

Thanks for writing as always!
