TLDR: I am looking for more diverse non-meat options than your average restaurant or supermarket provides. Because they don’t quite work for me as well as I’d like.
I am not a picky eater, I enjoy vegan food and non-vegan food alike. I’ve noticed most “vegan” advertised products are just meat imitations that taste like seasoned cardboard.
Too darn often do I see cooks and stores trying to replace the visuals of meat, rather than finding something that tastes satisfying in it’s own way. I’d be eating more vegan food if the options available had a similar convenience and filled me up properly.
Which may sound stupid, but I’ve tried going vegan and I did not feel great. I guess beans and tofu are not for me. Now I realise I may sound like an uninformed dingus who doesn’t know how to find decent ingredients and recipes… That’s because I am.
But I would really like to find some options that work for me. And I’m fine with trying 20 things over the course of a month and deciding only a few work for me.
Does anyone here have any advice?
2·13 hours ago- Yes, we have one of those here. It doesn’t fit me quite perfectly, I happen to need a bit more protein and veggies than average.
- You’re right that there is more, but it is important to me. And don’t worry, I consume much more veggies than average too.
- Did you know those are unregulated in the usa? I don’t want to depend on them. I just get big bags of pre cut veggies.
- I don’t. If not trough impracticality then trough laziness. I weigh my good instead to keep it consistent.
- and 6. It’s going to take a while to adjust. My body usually isn’t too happy about changes but a more varied diet (less meat dependent) would be worth it. Even if it takes a while.
- BEANS I had a lot of those back when I was not making much money
