My wife and I are trying to eat a little less meat, starting with 1 dinner per week. I’m having trouble finding vegetarian recipes that can fit my desired macros for dinner, which are 52/41/16 C/P/F. I like tofu, but the protein/fat ratio isn’t great for what I’m trying to get. I don’t really love the “fake” meat substitutes and would rather eat real foods.

Any suggestions on high protein lower fat veggie mains or resources for recipies would be greatly appreciated.

    It’s usually 2:1 protein to fat in Tofu. Remember plant fat is different than animal fat, most of it is unsaturated.

    With Tempeh you will have 3:1.

    The best will be TVP with around 40-50:1, but it’s the most work, because it needs to be soaked before frying/grilling.
