Ok so im trying a plant-based protein for the first time my start weight is 283 im ashamed of my body what other types can i use to lose weight i have to use 50 pounds

Make sure to talk to your dietitian or doc about your choice. Not sure why, but whey protein is typically preferred pre-surgically, probably due to gas from beans.

If you use plant protein, make sure you're mixing your legumes with rice to get a complete amino acid. (pea protein is great if you mix it with brown rice protein)

Other proteins to consider: Hemp, Chia, and egg white protein powder are good choices, too.

Ok i will switch what do you think i should use i am eating beans and proteins too

Any of the above mentioned should work well depending on how your particular body likes them. Be a little careful with soy. Some is fine, but too much can be associated with unwanted side effects.

Check out Quorn products in the grocery freezer...it's fungus protien that is sold as chicken and burger replacement sort of like soy. I prefer the flavor and texture of Quorn to other meat replacements.

As with all dietary changes....if you're seeing a dietitian, these would be great topics of conversation. I was surprised how knowledgeable my dietitian was on this topic...and how helpful:)

If you're a potato chip lover...try the baked crispy pea snacks. They come in some really great flavors...wasabi, cracked pepper, light salt.....the calories are around 100, and you get 5g of protein per serving. Cost isn't bad, either.

Also consider hummus and adding nuts and seeds to salads and smoothies.
