Just from a diet standpoint. If I want to be somewhat low carb it’s a struggle to get full without meat.

When you say struggle: is this a struggle finding alternatives in your local food markets or struggle committing to making the dietary changes?

[mrfusion]

Maybe part ignorance, just not having ideas.

[dvtrn]

That’s fair. One of the hardest parts is being conscious and cognizant when shopping for food what we’re buying-ways to do this could include actively reading nutrition tables on food packaging and through this you start to get an idea of what certain foods do for you and you begin shopping with a purpose versus shopping to make the fridge look full.

Strategically Replacing meat with certain veggies and legumes for example can get you that protein and carb kick but also are a great source of fiber while being easier to digest. Depending on your personal diet choices you might find a bag of beans not only costs less but can get you the same amount of carbs and proteins per serving across multiple servings than a single serving cut of meat.

Some beans for your thoughts ;)

If I lean too heavily on beans I end up with devastating effects once I pass the meal due to all that fiber. Any supplement that can counter this?

[dvtrn]

I'm no true dietician, but curious: do you have issues normally with other fiber laden foods?

That's convenience, which probably isn't the thing that decides the ethics.
