#veg protein

[midnights-perch]

This is what the Telegraph is saying we should eat now?

As a middle aged, 125lb, 5ft 4" woman, with an underactive thyroid to boot... those portions would leave me severely underweight. I'm not a heavy exerciser either, I just work on my feet. How would you get enough vitamins and minerals out of that without snacking?

Can we STOP underfeeding women ffs.

#ed trigger warning #let women eat #we are not frail bedbound little things #let us have some fucking protein #even the veg portion is woefully inadequate #goona get your 5 a day like that? #are you fuck #radblr

Taco Soup

Okay this isn't whump but @whump-captain wanted my taco soup recipe so here it is. It's a one pot dish, and it'll feed either three hungry guys for a few days or all my very spice intolerant coworkers for one luncheon if I go easy on the spice

Ingredients: -3 cans of whatever beans you like, go nuts, add more, it's your soup. Maybe go low sodium tho -minced garlic, you know how much you like, measure with your heart, I usually do like 5 cloves -2-3 taco seasoning packets (or cumin, chili powder, onion powder, pepper, garlic salt to taste) -2 bags of frozen bell peppers and onions (or fresh) -jalepenos from a jar if you want em or some other spicier pepper -cooking vinegar OR the juice from your jarred peppers OR tabasco, you just want acidity towards the end if it doesn't taste salty enough or seems like it's Missing Something -lime juice -A good box of chicken or veg stock/broth or like ten boullion cubes. However you make your broth is fine, just make however much you want (we add the broth last, so you can wait and eyeball it. This soup cannot be overcooked, I promise) -Cooked chicken if you want it, I use canned or leftover baked chicken but it's not necessary -Butter or some other fat -if you like it on your tacos, add it tbh. Corn? Fuck yeah. Tomatoes? Sure why not. Live your soup dreams.

OKAY SO HERE'S WHAT YOU DO: -Heat up the pot you'll be souping in to medium-high, throw in the butter/fat and let that melt -Then add the (ideally thawed but it doesn't really matter here if you don't have the energy) onions and bell peppers in. Let that get all soft and translucent then add the garlic. -Let that get all warm and aromatic for about thirty seconds to a minute, then if you're crazy and want to cook the peppers do that at this point, then add anything else you want that'll be warm and in the soup. -Add in your meat if you want it in here, it should be cooked already so we're just making the flavors mingle -Add your beans, don't bother draining them. -Add the taco seasoning, mix it in -Add your broth. -Let it simmer like ten minutes, adjust the seasoning as it does and add your lime juice and any other little dashes you want, follow your nose.

It's pretty much done since everything is fully cooked, it's just a matter of warming and seasoning it at this point. You can make it as thick or thin as you want, serve it over rice or anything else that makes you happy, add sour cream or salsa or avocado or guac, if it sounds good on a taco then do it!

#not whump #recipies #recipe #it's a one pot dish bc I hate dishes #and it's super flexible because sometimes you have stuff nad sometimes you don't #the goal is warm and flavorful and full of veg and protein #make it your own i'm not your boss have fun with it #get souped

Comparing Protein sources non-veg vs veg

When it comes to protein, both non-veg and veg diets offer satisfactory options. While non-veg rely on meat, beef and fish, vegetarians rely on plant based sources like lentils, tofu, beans and nuts. It's not about which diet offers more, but rather about balancing protein sources to meet nutritional needs. Whether you choose animal or plant based proteins, variety is key for a healthy diet.

I wish all "eat less move more track everything" medical rote responses a very DIE.

#you could just fucking believe me #when I say that I prioritize protein and veg and that the brain RUNS ON CARBS so they are necessary #you could believe me when I tell you that I eat when I am hungry and I stop when I am full #and stop trying to get me to *log my emotions uwu* before and after eating #yknow what my emotions after eating are? FUCK YOU WHY I AM TRACKING THIS #It also just makes me hyper aware of my dissociation and adhd time-blindness which just makes me angrier #because it DISREGULATES THE THING I WAS ALREADY REGULATING by ALLOWING IT TO HAPPEN in controlled amounts #which by the fucking way is good for dissociative disorders LIKE MINE because not shoving the symptoms into a box or ignoring them #HELPS THEM BECOME REGULATED AND LESS NECESSARY FOR MENTAL STABILITY #forcing me to break the pattern does me no good #your *hard data* can be faked anyway stupid ass #I have spent SIX YEARS trying to heal an eating disorder #yknow what you're fucking doing? GIVING ME AN EATING DISORDER #god I wanna slap this woman so fucking badly #I'd like to do more than that if I'm being honest

I get frustrated when I find a story that like.... I like it in a lot of ways but from the author comments I can tell they're siding with the character that, for whatever reason, I thoroughly disagree with on a specific point

Anyway not everyone can get enough nutrients from a vegan diet, assuming that everyone can is a form of ableism, and moralizing eggs is weird considering a hen is gonna lay every day whether she's been fertilized or not

I'm not pointing out the story in question this is going to remain a vaguepost

#I have tried to only eat vegetable based proteins and I should technically be able to get enough iron from the veg I already eat #But I get sick after less than two weeks of not eating any animal products #My body literally cannot absorb certain things from plants and I'm not actually a weird case

[soldier-poet-king]

Anyway put a bunch of Mediterranean cookbooks (BUT NOT the keto/calorie counting/diet ones bc we hate those) on hold at the library like an old lady BC smthn about physical cookbooks and tangible food products and my weird hatred of digital recipes despite their convenience

#i love ebooks ! ecookbooks just. dont hit the spot #it feels weird #and i need to spark joy in food once again #both bc winter sads #and also bc TUMMY HURT #my mother may be outraged but im gonna try to play it as a health thing #and maybe avoid a huge fight #there will still be fights. esp bc there is one (1) kitchen #and itll be like housemates fighting for space and stove burners #and i get home from work SO late im gonna be dying #ill try to cook in bulk in sundays ig for the upcoming week #and only cook on weeknights when its stuff thats gross leftover #UNFORTUNATELY I ALSO HAVE FOOD SENSORY ISSUES #eggs and fish are evil #so my proteins are chicken nuts and beans #which i adore. unfortunately. my family are big red meat ppl and im. hm. HURT GUT #i LITCHERALLY just want more veg idc how expensive it cant be as expensive as MEAT #or buy frozen. frozen is also good veg #yall. im. in so much pain #its relatively mild but NEAR CONSTANT

[swankpalanquin]

every time i make leftover mush for a meal, multiple food cultures shiver like a ghost walked over their grave

#sweet potato honey mustard fried chicken and soba all in one bowl... dinner #i'm just happy i managed a carb protein and veg all in one meal #i always forget how much i like sweet potatoes until i start eating some

[grub-s]

the lighting is terrible because i had the kitchen light on for pre-dawn breakfast, but this was very good for a quickie before work. shoulda been two egg on pesto but we only had one egg ! so the other was garden tomato and mayo. i might do the same again tomorrow ! or maybe pesto scrambled eggs…

#tomato and mayo on toast is my favourite meal ever in the whole world but i need more protein to get me through early starts #tomorrow i’m gonna make a pesto and cheese salad sandwich #for work lunch and also probably some hummus and veg to snack on #and i’ll make sure to take a bowl of rice pud and berries for morning tea at work also

[lupismaris]

I'm just gonna complain in the tags tw medical stuff tbd etc

#its the final stretch and i refuse to will anything into this universe other than this is the final stretch im having treatment and it ends #this is the end of this here and now i will not continue to live like this i cannot continue to live like this i cannot carry this fatigue #any further genuinely i cannot its not a matter of will not anymore i just... i cannot. im legitimately still hiding at the office #despite everyone else having gone home because it takes too much effort to gather my things and walk to my car and im afraid of falling #i forgot my cane at home and its cold and my body struggles with temperature regulating and seizes up so badly #but the fatigue has finally reached a point where its hard to lift my bag or put my coat on or my jewelry without help #or walk across the parking lot just to get to my car and its not like the usual hey we have to adjust to new level of disabled #it's fatigue kneecapping you put of nowhere with a tireiron until you can barely loft your bag or fix tea or prepare dinner #and the fact the all the joy of food has been robbed from me because everything takes so much goddamn effort now #everything takes ten more steps and an hour more planning and special ingredients and yes i know lots of people live like this always #but i haven't and its been a forced short term adjustment period with absolutely no support from medical professionals #and im the only cook in my household/family/immediate social circle so all the labor inevitably falls on me not out of malice #but by default even if they try to help they can only do so much because they dont know what to do #i am literally on the verge of a meltdown just thinking about how much effort dinner is going to take because i cant just #eat a fuckin box of easy mac or ramen with an egg and go to bed no I've got to make a special soup with special ingredients #or a proper balanced meal with protein and veg and whole grain and certain seasoning #and im just so fuckin tired im so goddamn tired if this radiologist doesn't come back and say i can eat freely come Friday #i genuinely dont know what im going to do #food is one of my greatest joys and to be limited even in such bizarrely simple ways requiring so much excess labor #is too much. its too much on top of all this hypothyroidic fatigue. i cant do it. #i dont want to go home and make a fuckin soup. i want pizza. i want take away. i want lamb curry and rice. i want food i dont have to cook. #god im so fuckin tired my body feels so ancient like something wrecked in the seabed being involuntary hoisted to the shallows again #and im not sure its going to survive the process. i mean it has to. we dont have a choice. but fuck.

[to-the-fishies]

Congratulate me!!  For I have plumbed the depths of my freezer, cleaned out the grossness from the bottom, and taken note of what, exactly, is in there!

(I also acknowledged that I’m never actually going to cook fries in the frozen rendered goose fat.)

(I also made more room by finishing the Phish Food.  In my magnanimity.)

#js #meal planning #it turns out i have a bunch of protein and frozen veg in there!

[fadingstarryskies]

[novustrad]

I know cooking at eating around midnight is weird. But have you considered that I am hungry and don't care?

#novustrad #i made ramen #that's carbs protein and veg #which is better than all the bread I'd have ate that wouldn't have satisfied me half as much #so nyah

[theunemployedrogue]

What's a good non-meat protein? Like something SUPER high in protein you don't have to eat a lot of preferably. I'm not vegan or vegetarian, I'm just sick of eating chicken all the time lol

#i limit eggs & red meat bc of my cholesterol issues #some nuts i like. I'll do turkey too. #but i just prefer fruits & vegs over meat and my protein intake is super low now -_- #food #personal

[theroamingvegan]

Trying tons of traditional (veganized) Balkan foods in our travels! Not exactly sure what these were called but they were certainly good.
