Man where were you 8 years ago when I ate zero protein because I didn't know it could be cheap. Couldn't afford animal products and was conditioned to believe those were the only viable source of protein.

Btw I'd like to add textured vegetable protein to the list! It's one of my go-tos nowadays.

    Out of interest, what do you mean with textured vegetable protein?

    I grew up a similar way! My mom always referred to protein as meat. Needed to add chicken or beef or pork to be the "protein" to make a dinner complete.

    Never mind it being cheese or bean based, meaning it had tons of protein.

    I would have to do the math on TVP on if it's a better source of protein per buck than like split peas. But glad it's working out for you!
