How do vegans hit protein targets on GLP-1?
Vegans on a GLP-1 should 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. 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 looks 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). Phaze includes plant-based custom foods so a tofu bowl logs in one tap.
