High Protein Vegetarian Meals? (lemmy.world)

My wife and I are trying to eat a little less meat, starting with 1 dinner per week. I'm having trouble finding vegetarian recipes that can fit my desired macros for dinner, which are 52/41/16 C/P/F. I like tofu, but the protein/fat ratio isn't great for what I'm trying to get. I don't really love the "fake" meat substitutes and would rather eat real foods.

Any suggestions on high protein lower fat veggie mains or resources for recipies would be greatly appreciated.

Dal is a good source of proteins

Try lentil, nut, and bean based foods. Maybe look up dals (there's a bunch of different flavors like spinach and tomato).

Garbanzo beans, all day, every day. AKA chickpeas.
