I spent this year removing upf, it initially was pretty difficult, and being vegan is an element that makes it even trickier

Even after removing upf, I'm still on around 140g of protein a day, but thats because I'm bulking so it's easy to add some extra nuts, beans and seeds here and there to up those numbers, will be difficult when it eventually comes to cutting and keeping protein high😅

Tofu and tempeh are the heroes for me, especially Tofu with its versatility (I made a chocolate mousse from it not so long ago).

I don't necessarily have recipes, I kinda just chuck stuff together with tempeh/tofu and mix up the seasoning to keep it from being monotonous

Overnight oats is a staple for me. A carton of organic soya milk is 33g of protein! It's making it taste nice without adding nasty upf's that can be tricky😂

Yeah, I think we're on a similar diet although im trying to keep my protein up whilst losing a stone to improve my running.

I am also doing lots of porridge covered in seeds and eating tofu till it comes out my ears! 😂

I think overall UPF stuff is good to kick but it doesn't half make protein goals harder. I used to do a protein shake and a couple of Linda McCartney sausages and I was nearly there!

Thanks for sharing this livegoodwithluke It’s great to hear how you’re incorporating high-protein vegan options like tofu and tempeh into your diet especially with the chocolate moose such creativity!
I'm also looking to increase my protein. By the way, could you let me know what "UPF" stands for? I'm curious 🌱

UPF stands for ultra processed food. Think of anything with ingredients you wouldn't have in a home kitchen.

I am doing high fiber, low fat 🍀🌿🌱☘️ Plants, grains, and seeds have all the protein rlly
