I do, all the time. protein is protein.
Quinoa, lentils, chickpeas, beans (especially black, butter and cannellini beans), and a bunch of flours like coconut, quinoa and amaranth.
I use pea and rice protein in baking a lot too (whey can dry stuff out a bit much) and they're fantastic.
yep sometimes if you disguise it, it's all good.
Plus if you add them to soups or mashed into burgers, it's great.
if you like nuts etc then it's not all disgusting, is it? LOL
totally understand. I was a vegetarian for .. wow decades. Now i eat fish and I'm trying hard to adapt to chicken. But I will can't eat meat from a mammal. Just hate it. Probably the only one on this forum. But i never say never cos who knows.
No its not, I was simply interested in how people look at their diets. I am not a big fan of micro balancing my macro nutrients. I have never counted protein from vegetable sources as they are so insignificant that its nearly pointless to me with the food I eat.
Why i asked was because my wife does count her macro nutrients in this manner and thinks I should, yet her results are no better than mine when it comes to % of fat loss/muscle creation etc.
I simply wanted to see whether allot of peeps do it or not. I don't count the carbs from my veggies anymore either (starchy ones I do, potatoes/corn etc) as I've found it makes next to no difference anyway (for me).
I guess i only count them when I'm logging my food intake into myfitnesspal (it does it automatically)otherwise if I'm just estimating it in my head then no I don't count vege proteins
Yep you count protein from all sources. If you are eating a wide range of protein sources the protein from veggies or whatever is just as good as the protein from meat so there is no reason not to count it.
soy is under attack for a number of reasons. sometimes GMO stuff but for guys mostly because some studies have shown it can negatively affect testosterone levels.
meh, who knows...
a little bit of many foods won't harm you.
that goes for protein too. if you relied on soy almost exclusively, that would be bad just as it would be bad to rely on anything exclusively.
