    Actually about to start a strength workout having eaten nothing but tofu and lentils for protein. 😱 I’ll probably die tbh

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

          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.
