    I’m surprised peanuts are that high in protein, but the rest of the peanut is fat so it’s too calorie dense to use for protein goals if you eat badly otherwise.

    I usually use g of protein/calorie to evaluate workout/diet food, while trying to keep relatively low cost.

    Tofu/soymilk has been pretty good to me, but it’s hard to hit protein goals vegan without supplement. Vegan protein powders function fine even though I use brown-rice protein which is terrible-tasting. I prefer soy protein powder, but I eat too much soy otherwise and want to balance my amino acids because I heard that’s good to do.
