Ok last year in June, I decided to stop eating meat. It was hard at first but I slowly got used to it. I still occasionally want something but I don't, I am perfectly happy not eating meat and I really don't want to start again. I do however, very occasionally eat seafood like shrimp.
Problem is that I hate beans. I hate legumes and lentils and all sorts of beans except green beans (with italian dressing yum!). I like tofu and nuts and soy which I believe are good sources of protein, I even have protein powder I can add to things like orange juice and oatmeal. But I don't know if that is enough. I don't think it is.
So what do I do? Do I go back to eating meat again? I am afraid I will go right back to the chicken nuggets and burgers if I start again. But I am sure I don't eat enough protein to get by.
So I guess I am looking for simple easy quick and tasty recipes along with advice. Using beans possibly. I can handle some black beans occasionally. I made a good egg scramble with salsa and beans and tofu and it was pretty good. So I am open to simple things like that.
Please give me some advice! How do I fgure out how much protein I need and all that? I can't talk to a doctor bc I have no health insurance to even go to one!
