  • Thanks for the correction!

    My memory of the protein contents of broccoli and mushrooms was a bit exaggerated, but I maintain that for their protein contents, I’d rather eat more broccoli and mushrooms than bread or pasta.

    I’m no nutritional scientist or body builder, so my dietary planning is almost certainly too simple and vague to be anywhere close to optimal: keep total calories < a dynamic amount determined by vibes and how much activity I’ve done that day (on my last backpacking trip it was almost 3000kcal/day because I was walking 10+ miles a day with 30 lbs on my back, but most days it’s closer to half that) and otherwise get 80-100g of protein per day distributed as uniformly as I can throughout the day.

    This is a reproduction of the spreadsheet I misremembered that I made few years ago when I started thinking more seriously about my health and nutrition:

    edit: fixed an error in my calculation of oyster mushroom nutrient per kcal cells; it’s on par with whole grain bread and tofu and has more fiber than the latter


  • getting tired of constantly eating beans

    skill issue tbh

    practice cooking more and with a greater variety of flavor profiles. Pick a culture whose food you like and learn a few bean based recipes from that culture. If you like indian food, try a few different daals or curries with tofu, broccoli, cauliflower.

    also, nuts exist.

    edit correction:

    broccoli has about as much more than half the protein per calorie of tofu

    cauliflor and brussels sprouts have similar ratios

    mushrooms have tons almost as much protein per calorie as tofu









  • In 3rd or 4th grade I tried to check out Anne Rice’s The Servant of the Bones and was denied because “Anne Rice is too mature for someone as young as you”. I told the librarian that my parents recommended the book after I read Interview with the Vampire, which I found on my parents’ bookshelf after reading Dracula. I was then told that I could bring in a signed permission slip and when I came back with my mom she chewed out the librarian for gatekeeping a book because it has sex in it.

    I definitely didn’t understand a lot of the sexy parts the way an adult would, but I enjoyed the story and the mythology it built on. My mom was pretty good, folks.
