amount of protein in soya chunks - #28217
I am really confused about the amount of protein in soya chunks. I've been trying to eat healthier lately and switched to a mostly plant-based diet, and I've heard a lot about the benefits of soya chunks. Last week, I bought a bag from the local store, and they claim to be a great protein source but didn’t really give much detail on the packaging. I tried eating them a couple different ways – like in stir-frys and soups – and I kinda liked them, but I just don’t know if I’m getting enough protein intake from them. Some online sources keep saying the amount of protein in soya chunks is super high, like upwards of 50%. But, how much should I really be eating? How much protein could I be missing out on if I rely too much on them and not balance it with other foods? I read that the amount of protein varies by brand too, which makes it even more confusing. If anyone has good resources or tips on calculating how much protein I'm actually getting from soya chunks, that would be awesome! It's kinda stressing me out because I want to make sure I'm meeting my nutritional needs without overeating. Just trying to figure this whole thing out!
