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.

What's wrong about the protein/fat ratio of Tofu? You could also try Tempeh or TVP (textured vegetable protein, mostly extracted protein from soy or peas).

Legumes are fine but also have lots of carbs.

Sadly the community is really small here, but theres [email protected] the community is much bigger on Reddit though.

TVP or soy curls is the way to go. Super cheap and packed with protein. Look for them at your local Asian or Latin grocery store.
