Exploring Top Non-Meat Protein Sources for a Healthier Diet
Stephanie highlights tempeh, firm tofu, beans, and seitan as excellent non-meat protein sources. Tempeh offers 34g of protein per cup, while firm tofu provides 23g per half block. Beans deliver 7-9g per ½ cup. Seitan, with 21g per serving, mimics meat texture. Stephanie notes, “You can get all the protein you need without meat as long as you include plant-based proteins at every meal.”

“Drop the ‘meat and potatoes’ mindset,” says Wells. “People often struggle with knowing what to eat as a vegetarian when they come from the traditional formula of including meat, potatoes and a vegetable side dish for meals—with meat being the main component. Get creative with your meals by trying new combinations like chickpea curry with rice, black bean burrito bowls or a tofu vegetable stir-fry.” - Stephanie Wells as quoted by FORBES

“This study adds to the growing amount of evidence for the effectiveness of plant-based protein for building muscle, although more research with high-quality study designs is needed. It may be encouraging for people who want to eat [fewer] animal products or transition to a plant-based diet for reasons of personal health, the environment, or animal welfare. It may also help dispel the common misconception that plant-based diets can’t provide enough protein for optimal health.” - Stephanie Wells as quoted by MEDICAL NEWS TODAY

"I think meat alternatives can be a great tool for people who are just starting to eat less meat, since you can cook them the same way you would cook meat." But she adds, "When I help clients find ways to eat less meat, I emphasize plant-based sources of protein like beans, lentils, tofu, edamame, nuts, and seeds, which should form the foundation of their diet along with whole grains, fruits, and vegetables." - Stephanie Wells as quoted by Salon
