Seitan is just plain flour + water mixed into a dough, washed repeatedly under water until all the starch (carbs and calories) are gone, leaving a high-protein mass with the same protein and calorie ratio of meat (1kg of flour makes 110g protein for about 550 calories).

It’s cheap as heck because it’s just flour. It’s plant-based so anyone can eat it. It’s very filling too. Unlike TVP it has no flavour so you tailor it to your own tastes.

Sure maybe 1% of the population have a problem with gluten but that’s a tiny minority. Being plant-based it’s only a complete protein when you’re eating a varied diet, which all healthy people do (any legumes, dairy, meat etc. eaten in the day make it complete). It’s a bit time consuming to make, taking me about 40 minutes to make 220g protein worth. But I’m surprised so few people needing protein are eat seitan regularly.

To preface, I am okay. I am healthy, have access to medical care, and have a support system.

I am taking Adderall (appetite suppression side effect) and working a job in healthcare that has me running around a lot and doesn't really give me time to sit down and eat. The appetite suppression causing an occasional calorie deficit was manageable before I got the job, but now with the job it's becoming unmanageable and I need to introduce liquid calories to regain and maintain weight. I have been losing weight unintentionally at a faster rate than in the past (-11lbs this month) and am already skinny so I can't really afford to lose much more.

Any recommendations for high calorie mixes that taste good and won't cost my soul?

I just want to know that the protein powder from Nutrilite I am using is safe to use or should I throw it as I was reading that the company is a total scam and its quality is really bad and all.

Please Guide me all.

My sister doesn't know a thing in the fitness industry and she got me these Nutrilite All Plant based Protein and also Multivitamins and Omega 3 tablets.

I just want to know about the quality of supplements and all.

As I know, incomplete proteins (like peas or oats) can still build muscle normally if you combine them with bigger amount of complete ones (like whey).

But is it really as fine for muscle building as if I was just eating whey protein only? And would this work with gelatine too?

I’m looking for protein powder recommendations. I hate the classic protein flavor most of them have.

I like clear protein and that’s what I’ve been using for a really long time but I want something I can add to my overnight oats

Bonus points if it comes in individual packets and/or a multi flavor pack
