> Since I bet you don't want to only eat beans, you'll probably want to take a pea protein supplement to replace the whey supplement. These cost about the same, but vary depending on location.

I'm on a medication that increases my insulin response, and I can't eat 400+ grams of carbohydrates a day just to get ~100 grams of protein without both getting fat and putting myself at risk of pre-diabetes.

Many of these are just carbohydrates. One of the recipes is literally just overnight oats, others are full of bread, grains and other carbohydrates with little to no protein at all.
