    Sorry for the terrible camera phone quality, but this was just too good not to share!

    Roasted Beet Burger (79 cals and 6.2g protein! How you like them apples?) on a wheat sandwich thin, topped with avocado and mustard. Honkin' side of baked sweet potato fries.

    I just annihilated this.

    OMG this looks AMAZING! Where on EARTH can one get a Roasted Beef Burger?????????

    Susan's site at blog.fatfreevegan.com has a great roasted beet burger recipe! I used that with a few tweaks. Post-Punk Kitchen has a good recipe for a beet burger too!

    Certainly not my prettiest meal, but definitely one of the tastiest! Lentil sloppy joe filling with brown rice and collard greens...and a glass of no-calorie orange *kitten* from my parents' refrigerator :) A delicious post-workout meal with 28g protein!

    Homemade seitan, baked sweet potato and broccoli! 46g protein and not a single speck of protein powder in sight! Take that, haters :)

    Daffodilsoup, what's your Seitan recipe, please? I'm loving the idea of 46g of protein in one meal. What's the calorie count for this meal, if you wouldn't mind?

    I started keeping a photo food journal a few weeks ago, there are 2-3 that do contain either meat/cheese/butter, because I'm still new at this. Originally I only tracked calories, but since I started using this site I am going to start tracking more complete nutritional info, sorry about it being an external site.

    I use The PPK's homemade seitan recipe: http://www.theppk.com/2009/11/homemade-seitan/

    I'm not sure what the calorie count is, as that post was from awhile ago, but homemade seitan has about the same nutritional profile as skinless, boneless chicken breast, so it's a great protein source for vegetarians and meat eaters alike!

    I'm not a vegetarian, but a high-protein meal like this - without soy - interests me.

    It's delicious - even my meat-and-potatoes father requests it from time to time :) It's great shaved thin on sandwiches, too. Even if you eat meat, it's nice to add a little variety every now and then.

    I'm going to the Asia World Market today and will look to see if they have seitan - I'd probably top it with Katsu sauce and a side of mung beans with coconut spread and shichimi togarashi seasoning.

    Sounds delicious! If you're going to the Asian Grocery, look for mock duck - it's the same thing, made from vital wheat gluten, also high in protein and delicious!

    Thanks. How much does it generally cost and at how many servings? I guess it comes in a block similar to tofu?

    Frittata.jpg

    This is our latest creation: "Kale, mushroom and hickory-smocked tomato frittata"

    This dish served the two of us at 303 cal, 11g carb, 18g fat and 22g protein each serve.

    We served it with a side salad and were extremely full. Loved using the silicon baking tray because there is ZERO need for oil or other spray to keep it from sticking
