High Protein Vegetarian Meals? (lemmy.world)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

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.

If you don't mind the cholesterol, aged (preferably 2 years or more) cheese like parmeggiano reggiano and cheddar are great protein and fat sources. Good bioavailable calcium as well.
