In this video, I'm reviewing some of the most popular plant based protein foods to find out which ones are actually worth eating during a fat loss phase/whilst building muscle. We'll compare protein, calories, taste and value, and I'll explain what I personally look for when choosing protein sources.

If you're trying to lose weight, maintain muscle, or simply make better food choices on a plant based diet, this video is for you.

Let me know your favourite plant based protein in the comments, and don't forget to subscribe for more fat loss tips, and honest reviews.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, like you’re trying but getting nowhere… this is for you.

Imagine where you could be in 3 months if this wasn’t just a 30-day challenge.

I couldn’t find a good plant based yogurt either so I figured out how to make it myself. Trader Joe’s soy milk is perfect, need 2 cartons and you can use all kinds of starters, but then you use your own yogurt to make more. Use your instant pot if it has a yogurt setting and give it 13 to 14 hours. To make it more protein rich strain it till it’s Greek yogurt consistency. I can now get it going at 6pm in about 10 minutes. So delish

I have been loving the low fat protein of TVP lately. If I need to punch up my protein by the end of the day, a TVP taco can totally bring my protein level on Cronometer to green. It’s so versatile too.

Such a great video Chelsea!!! I actually just finished my LWPs program a few weeks ago (coach Abbie is the best) and I’ve still been crushing it (down 43lbs and still counting!). If you haven’t already try working in Complement unflavored protein powder into your routine! I have some in my morning oats every day - it’s only 85 cals for 15 grams of protein and there’s even 2 grams of fiber in there. I’ve never been able to tolerate protein powder, but complement is so clean, it’s never been an issue.

Thank you for all the great videos, podcasts, and blunt honesty about what works and doesn’t. Joining LWPs was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. 🥦🥔🥰

Brami beans- 12 grams protein and 9 grams fiber per serving

I put the WF steak strips in the air fryer—works great. I love them in a salad.
Silk makes a soy yogurt that is pretty good and actually has protein unlike all the coconut yogurts. In Colorado I’ve only been able to find it in Sprouts.
You might want to look into hemp protein powders. The ones with pea protein give me a lot of digestive problems too, but I’m ok with the hemp. Also, you could check out Fodzyme which helps you digest the various fermentable oligosaccharides in food which cause the bloat, etc. Very helpful if you have to be around people other than your hopefully understanding family!

I like to make a homemade seitan. Volume is reasonably good, and protein per 100 calories is pretty good. It's generally just vital wheat gluten, a bit of nutritional yeast (optional), salt, herbs, and water. I mix it up, form it into smaller pieces, and then either bake it, steam it, or boil it. If you want, you can mix in some chickpea flour as well, so that you get a better mix of amino acids, but the texture and macro mix is better without the chickpea flour.

For protein powder, one thing I do for bulking it up is that I will shred 1-2 zucchini (fine shredder), microwave it, and then mix in a chocolate or vanilla protein powder and a pinch of salt. It comes out super tasty (IMHO), and has a lot of bulk to it.

Bloating can be causes by an ingredient like chicory root fiber, or inulin in products. Also is it for some people not going well to eat fruits together with legumes and grains... eat fruits always apart from other food,1 hour before or 3 hours after , or cook or warm the fruit the other ingredients like in your oatmeal for example... sometimes this works wonderful for your intestines, and bloating .
Love your content ❤

Thank you for this comparison! Very helpful! I'm curious why you didn't mention lentils, tempeh, TVP or soy curls. I'd love to see how they stack up in the protein grams per 100 calories. I've also heard recently about something called edamame puffs that resemble Rice Krispies. I personally love having edamame in my freezer and also the dried ones that are oil free (Seapoint Farms) which are great to munch on or add to salads. I do love the Brami beans! I personally tend to steer clear of the more processed and flavored stuff. I do like pure peanut powder (without sugar) as my protein powder of choice. Great for making sauces and adding to smoothies and oats. I don't love that fava bean tofu either--I will try mixing it with regular tofu. Great idea!

Okay, sweet gal, I'm starting today to follow your protocol and hope this works to get rid of this all-of-a-sudden menopausal wt gain.
I'll keep you posted

How about oil free soy curls or pieces? They've removed oil from them to sell the soy oil separately. Thank you so much for all your content!
.....
Edit. Sorry you did handle soy pieces here!
