If I get say 97-99% of my protien from eggs and oats will that eventually weaken me? I want to switch from mostly meat because of the cost and taste (not a huge fan).
I will also chuck in almonds and be getting a little protien of vegtables.
My plan is to eat a big bowl of oats (the healthy kind not instant) every day for breakfast have vegtables and almonds for lunch and snacks and have 4-6 eggs a day maybe 2 boiled as snacks and the rest for dinner.
The vegtables im talking about are relativley low in protien they will be what ever is cheapest at the fruit and veg store that is portable and can be eaten raw.
Ask yourself this: will eating such a poor variety of foods with a severe lack of nutrients help me be the strongest/fittest/healthiest person I can be?
if the answer is no then I suggest you be prepared to pay more.
The guys having 3 meals a day, two which consist of oats and eggs (aka breakfast stuff) and another of mixed vegetables and nuts. There seems to be no consideration of calorie intake, vitamins and minerals and varied protein sources (a big deal if you're a vego). Do you think that's optimal?
The average 100kg male needs a minimum of 225g of protien daily, if you want to do this with eggs only, being that an average egg has 5g protein you need to consume 45 eggs lol, try it, youwill be back on the meats within 48hrs Posted via Mobile Device

The nuts you are eating at lunch don't contain a full amino acid profile either. Milk, meat and eggs can only give you that. So your saying you don't like chicken, turkey, tuna, pork, lamb, beef? What about kangaroo? It's very cheap. Posted via Mobile Device

don't count the protein from vegies, oats etc. in your daily totals. That protein simply does not have the muscle building amino acid profile of meat, fish chicken etc. The cheapest way to get more protein in your diet is to buy unflavoured WPC protein in bulk...

All protein can and should be counted as they do compliment each other. For example, a protein coming from say a legume (beans) has as its limiting amino acids: methionine and tryptophan. Grains (rice/oats etc) have an abundance of these two aminos but lack lysine instead, which is plentiful in legumes. That's how human beings survive without eating any animal products; vegans are such a people.

This is what alot of new vegans dont udnerstand though.. There is something like a 4ohur amino acid pool "window"... All essential amino acids must be met for protein synthesis to occur or it does not occur AT ALL. Thats not to say that the amino acids will not fullfill their other roles in the human body. but cellular protein synthesis will not be one of them...
So say someone eats legumes for breakfast. Grains for lunch and legumes for dinner.. depending on the gap between meals that is not going to be the best thing for them.. Soy contains all essential aminos however it is basically a bastardised genetically modified poison that wreaks havic on your thyroid gland.
The big 425g tins of Home Brand tuna are under $2 a can, chicken breast from the supermarket deli is heaps cheaper than buying it pre-packaged, kangaroo meat, milk, and WPC in bulk is $15 a kilo......there are some cheap ways to get good protein.

Kangaroo meat is 7 bucks a kilo and if you go to a proper butcher all meat is cheaper then those shit holes woolies and coles frnaklins whatever other crap establishment people shop at.
