5’3 F trying to drop about 20lbs pre-vacation.
Any fellow vegetarians on here crack the code to getting high protein on a strict cut? I’ve been drinking a lot of protein shakes and eating frozen prepped meals that are high protein but there are such limited options for us! I quite like the Vital frozen cheese pizzas, they’re around 360 calories for 33g of protein. Some of the Beyond meals aren’t bad but they are so expensive, legitimately like $6/meal and it’s hard to buy a lot of them through the week.
Other than those, I’ve been eating a lot of (plant based) turkey sandwiches with low calorie bread and things like egg bites, protein bars (though these leave me rather hungry for their ~200 calories) and salads. I hate to do so few fresh foods but for a strict cut I’ve found frozen meals and protein shakes are the most bang for my buck in the short term and are so easy to track.
Any recommendations on other high protein vegetarian foods that are easy to track like this?
