High Protein Vegetarian Meals?

High Protein Vegetarian Meals? - Lemmy.world

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.

You should know that if you don’t work out protein will become body fat just as carbs. Just making sure you know, because some people are eating protein bars and drinking protein shakes and don’t do sports and are then surprised they got a huge belly instead of muscles, after just a few months. Protein is no joke.

Thanks! I train 5 days/week. This reminds me of a scene in Mean Girls
