How do vegans hit protein targets on GLP-1?
Vegans on a GLP-1 often aim toward the higher end of the daily range, around 1.0 gram of protein per pound of body weight, because plant proteins score lower on the DIAAS scale and on leucine content than animal proteins. A practical approach is to build every meal around a designated protein source rather than vegetables. Soy products (tofu, tempeh, edamame, soy isolate) are the closest plant protein to animal protein on completeness; pea isolate is a strong second. A workable 150-gram day might look like a tofu scramble (30 grams), a tempeh and lentil bowl (35), a pea-protein shake (35), a chickpea and seitan dinner (35), and snacks (15). In Phaze you can save plant-based meals so a tofu bowl logs in one tap.
