Are there any variants of plant based products which could compare to extremely high protein/calorie ratio foods, foods like egg white and chicken breast.
The ones I have eaten/seen till now seem quite bad if you look at the overall composition. Sure, they have decent amount of protein from the legume they come from but the overall composition is not good. There are certain variants of Tofu with low fat/carb count but I don't know of any other besides supplements.

- actuator 6y agoThanks, I just searched for that. Those are some extreme numbers[1] and there seem to be a lot of dishes in East Asia that are making use of it, not sure if the use is just as an additive. I wonder why it doesn't come up a lot in protein rich food discussion. I will try to read up more about it.
