Any vegetarians/vegans on here currently?
I am looking for recipies -- books, or pointers to web resources any of you might know about.
I poured over Amazon and came across Brendan Brazier's Thrive series -- vegan nutrition for endurance athletes -- thought that sounded ok. Checked it out in the bookstore and it recommended some crazy macros, something like 10% protein when you're not training, and 3% when you are. Insanity, right? Is this even appropriate for marathon runners??
Anyway, the only other book I could find had negative reviews saying it was "flexibly" vegetarian. Ehh. I don't even really eat eggs, so, that's no good.
I'm having whey most mornings and soy most evenings. I guess I'm looking for a high-protein vegan/vegetarian cookbook that outlines nutritional content, or maybe some new ideas for things to do with whey (maybe something savoury?) so I can switch that up with the soy-based dinners.
Also, does anyone know how tofu (regular, firm) compares with chicken breast in terms of nutritional profiles? Maybe I could do a straight swap with recipes in the book?
Are the other vegetarians bothering to track macros? Most of my proteins are also carbs, so I'm not bothering at this point -- too confusing, too much work. I'm just trying to eat good quality protein at every meal and eating a lot of fresh vegetables, apples, berries, raw nuts, etc.
