The author is making fun of "proud, vegan-hating carnivores." Ruben is not "anti-vegan."

Actually about to start a strength workout having eaten nothing but tofu and lentils for protein. ๐Ÿ˜ฑ I'll probably die tbh

I'm imagining every strenuous lift resulting in a toot!

FWIW I have achieved higher levels of gym strength as a vegan than I ever did as a carnivore.

What are your preferred protein sources?

[โ€“] 2d4_bears@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago

My main source of protein is definitely tofu. Most days I eat around 500 grams in various dishes. I also eat other beans and lentils, although amounts vary week by week. When I use protein powder I like to mix pea protein with brown rice protein. Pea protein has a different balance of amino acids compared to soy, but alone tends to be hard on my stomach. Hence, the mixture.

Oh interesting. My workouts are pretty standard, but I do sometimes ponder moving to heavy weights.

๐Ÿ˜Ÿ Have extra lentils as a precaution!
