Tofu in its various forms, including silk tofu as egg replacement in pancakes,
Other “meat substitutes” like seitan or sunflower seed mince,
Nuts, nut butters, nut flour,
Dairy products such as cottage cheese, joghurt,
Soy milk
I mean for real, eggs are super unnecessary for a protein rich or healthy diet. I would argue that unless you literally want to treat yourself with a sunny side up or an omelette you shouldn’t be using eggs at all. I like eggs, but a dozen lasts us (family of 3) a month easily.
Oh then try falafels. Jesus I can’t bring myself to make falafels or something similar at home because you literally fry it in oil and you need to do that in order for the raw legumes to be not toxic.
All kinds! Butter beans turn into chewy morsels, garbanzos become crunchy little nuts, and red/black beans become a little puffy.
I’ll toss them with some oil and chili lime seasoning and eat them by hand, put them on a saucy burrito or veggie wrap, crunch them up into chili, there’s all sorts of ways to eat them!
Seitan is also very high in protein, containing 75g of protein per 100g compared to 13g per 100g for scrambled eggs (although its low on lysine, so it should be balanced out with other protein sources).
Ignore the legumes suggestion, it’s nasty af and makes most people’s stomachs bloated and inflammed (which gives gas and is the reason there are so many jokes on legumes giving people gas). Eat fish, nuts, artisanal cheeses (very low lactose compared to other cheeses) or even just homemade jerky. Good for the brain and no bloating unless you have some diagnosed gut diseases.
For those who can’t be bothered to read my replies, proof of legumes irritating the stomach of many people, causing bloating, causing gas and even pain:
Stay educated. You don’t HAVE to eat legumes, you can get fiber and essential nutrients in many other foods which is why I recommended other healthy foods, which don’t cause physical discomfort or pain.
Edit: Look at all the downvoters. Pissed people off just by not recommending a single fucking plant (among many that we can consume with less difficulty) that humans don’t absolutely need to live healthy and get all nutrients. Crazy ass people fr 😂 As bad as MAGA licking Trump’s ass and if someone points out the bad and say they don’t like him, they flip the f out. Except this is the legume cult. They flip out over legumes 😂
Mystery meat? Are you ignorant? You can make jerky at home with fresh meat yourself, that’s why I said homemade jerky. Gotta love vegans downvoting this out of ignorance. Artisanal cheeses are very good for you too and fish is great omega 3s. Legumes irritate many people’s stomachs. Way to dismiss the reality of eating legumes.
Many people fart with beans and legumes, it’s a minority that doesn’t and why should people take pills to eat food? If the food doesn’t mesh with you body, why force it down? I’ll never understand this. You can live a healthy life without legumes. This legume crusade is getting ridiculous 😂

You never eat vegetables, do you? Much of the world lives off legumes. Having these issues with their digestion is caused by a poor gut microbiome from eating an extremely low-fiber diet.
I do eat vegetables, simply not legumes as they give me gas and bloating (and I’m not the only one it happens to, it’s so common, there’s a reason comedians joke about eating them and farting). Can we stop pretending legumes don’t cause gas and bloating? 😂 As if me pointing it out means I don’t eat veggies, gtfo here.
"Fiber makes you bloat
Beans are just one example of high fiber foods. When you eat a ton of fiber, you increase your chances of bloating, stomach pain and gas."
It’s not even hard to find this out. Btw it’s beans AND legumes in general that do this (the article mentions it and this is not the only source that says this). Happy reading.
In my experience your body gets used to high fiber content. It’s only when you don’t eat legumes regularly that they cause issues, now that I’m eating them several times a day there’s no bloating.
it’s so common, there’s a reason comedians joke about eating them and farting
The average American eats a dearth of fibrous vegetables.
The article you quote literally says what I said, so I’m not sure what you’re getting at. Your quote even points out that beans are not the only fibrous vegetable that causes gas when you don’t regularly eat enough fiber (brocolli is another non-legume example). If you kept reading, you would see:
Fiber is particularly difficult to digest compared to some other foods. If you suddenly start eating 1 cup of beans per day, that’s a big increase, and it may take some time for your body to get used to your new fiber intake. But as you continue to consume legumes regularly, your gas levels will eventually return to normal.
Btw it’s beans AND legumes in general that do this
Yes, beans are legumes, that’s why we’ve been using the word legume this whole thread
My point still stands, you don’t HAVE to eat legumes to get veggies in (that’s what my main post was about, hello?). You are allowed to rave and drool about legumes and I’m allowed to point out that many people struggle with them way more than other veggies and to not recommend them to the person that asked for healthy foods with nutrients in them. What do you not understand about this? Do you really think only legumes are healthy and that’s the only way you can stay healthy? Get over yourself. Broccoli is not nearly as bad as legumes for most people. No one makes jokes about broccoli making people fart and you don’t even have to wonder why… it’s because most people don’t struggle with broccoli, duh.
What do you suggest as an easy healthy source of protein?
Billionaires.
Legumes like beans, lentils, peas, hummus, chickpeas,
Oats, quinoa, amaranth, buckwheat, whole wheat products,
Tofu in its various forms, including silk tofu as egg replacement in pancakes,
Other “meat substitutes” like seitan or sunflower seed mince,
Nuts, nut butters, nut flour,
Dairy products such as cottage cheese, joghurt,
Soy milk

No I mean so I can fry it and get fat.
Trust me, you can fry all those things and get fat.
Oh then try falafels. Jesus I can’t bring myself to make falafels or something similar at home because you literally fry it in oil and you need to do that in order for the raw legumes to be not toxic.

The amino acids in plants come from proteins, too

Sure, but your explanation being completely incorrect damages your credibility
There it’s gone, feel free to post a correct version.
I like to airfry beans and eat them as a crunchy snack.
For breakfast specifically, oatmeal isn’t a bad choice.
What kind(s) of beans? That sounds tasty!
All kinds! Butter beans turn into chewy morsels, garbanzos become crunchy little nuts, and red/black beans become a little puffy.
I’ll toss them with some oil and chili lime seasoning and eat them by hand, put them on a saucy burrito or veggie wrap, crunch them up into chili, there’s all sorts of ways to eat them!

A - not everyone has issues with legumes, don’t project your personal issues on everyone. B - just take a beano pill beforehand if you do have issues.
