Description
While legumes have an INCREDIBLY health-promoting nutrient profile 🥗✨, including both soluble and insoluble fibre 🌾, resistant starch 🥔, vitamins 🍊, minerals 🧂, isoflavones, lignans, polyphenols, and flavonoids 🧪, they do have a relatively poor protein-to-calorie ratio 📉.⠀
⠀
While this is no issue for your average person 🚶♂️, the strength or physique athlete 🏋️♂️💪, or those seeking to optimise fat loss 🔥, would do well not to rely on them as their main protein source 🚫🫘. Instead, try lowering legume intake and adding a decent amount of TVP, tofu 🧊, tempeh, and seitan, or even lean vegan mock meats 🧆 and protein powders 🥤.⠀
⠀
In this way, we can feel better satiated 🍽️😌 and at least maintain, if not build, muscle tissue 💪💥 when combined with regular resistance training! 🏋️♀️✨⠀
