My wife and I are trying to eat a little less meat, starting with 1 dinner per week. I’m having trouble finding vegetarian recipes that can fit my desired macros for dinner, which are 52/41/16 C/P/F. I like tofu, but the protein/fat ratio isn’t great for what I’m trying to get. I don’t really love the “fake” meat substitutes and would rather eat real foods.
Any suggestions on high protein lower fat veggie mains or resources for recipies would be greatly appreciated.
We’re mostly just interested in getting a no meat dinner once per week to shake things up a bit. We eat plenty of fish, beef, chicken, eggs throughout the week. We love beans!
Eggs! Technically not a vegetable but most vegetarians eat them. They are a pretty good source of protein and ‘not meat.’
Peanut butter sandwiches are also a decent protein kick, along with a yogurt smoothie, but that’s more of a breakfast/lunch kinda meal.
