    Like tofu, tempeh, seitan, beans/legumes or do you mean a powdered supplement? What are your questions?

    I have been using Vegan plant based proteins for years. Mine is Sunwarrior- 100 calories a serving. What vegan protein is high calorie? Look at the scoop size and grams. I weigh mine and use the same size scoop for all my vegan proteins. The ones I use are all about the same with equal measurements

    Lupini beans, low carb, high protein. Sprouted beans are also processed by the body as a vegetable and not a carb and have high protein. Hemp and pea protein powders can be a good source as well. I avoid soy due to the negative risks associated with it.

    What does it mean to have our body process something "as a vegetable" and not as a carbohydrate? We process vegetables as carbohydrates, as they're typically rich in them.

    (Please don't spread misinformation about soy).

    Soy is so misunderstood. There are many cultures who are vital and very healthy that eat soy. It's glyphosates and GMO that are the problem.
    Fermented soy, sprouted, tempeh, edamame, tofu are complete and healthy proteins for most people
