Had a talk today with a guy who was sort of offended for some reason about me not eating animal products and lifting weight. He said I’d never get enough protein (never heard that one before!!!). Because lentils aren’t a thing in a world of steaks.

Anyway he said that you need at least 200 grams of protein each day when you lift but that’s of course nonsense. Not saying you shouldn’t do it, but you don’t need to either.

I’m averaging around 110-140 grams a day and I’m doing fine at ±80kg body weight.

    But beans do for some reason. Tried to cook kidney beans on several different occasions and they went bad after two days lol.

          well there’s your problem (or one of your problems at least.)

          adding enough salt to anything will make stuff last longer in the fridge. adding spices (like masala for instance) will help even more. you can add them before and after cooking and it will help.

      Two days is pretty fast, I also normally cook beans plain and they tend to last for several days. I just make sure my beans are submerged in water in a jar in the refrigerator.
