cooked soya chunks protein content - #28178
I am really confused about the whole cooked soya chunks protein content situation. Like, I started incorporating soya chunks into my diet thinking it would help me with my protein intake. I mean, being vegetarian, it's always a struggle to get enough protein, right? The other day, I cooked a big batch and was super excited to see that they expand a lot when cooked, which is cool, but now I'm not sure how much protein I actually got! I found a few sources saying that the protein content changes after cooking, but nobody seems to agree on exactly how much it changes. I even weighed them before and after cooking, but the numbers just don't add up. Do they lose protein when they cook? Or is it just that they become easier to digest so my body can actually use more of the protein? I feel like I might be missing something important about the cooked soya chunks protein content, but I'm not sure what. Should I maybe just focus on other protein sources too? Like woud that be a better option? Help me out here, I just wanna make sure I’m getting enough protein without overthinking everything!
