It's something I struggled with for a long time. I love animals and I don't want to fuel the demand for dead animals. I felt guilty about eating meat from an early age. I honestly can't say I miss eating meat. I do however miss being able to find something to eat at every fast food place. I cook at home more as a result.

    Are there any good vegan protein options that aren’t a legume? I’m allergic and it’s the biggest reason I haven’t considered switching. Every time I look up “vegan protein options” for ingredients and stuff, it’s always only peanuts, lentils, beans, peas, that sort of thing.

    Mushrooms, nuts and seeds is what I can still think of.

    Lots of vegans do enjoy nutritional yeast. You don't typically eat a huge amount of it, but it is around 50% protein.

    There's nut butters which can be used quite nicely in cooking. Unfortunately, they do tend to be rather expensive.

    Chia seeds are also perhaps worth highlighting. If you soak them in water for long enough, they basically turn into pudding (as in, "chia pudding" is an actual dish). Well, and they also have a fairly neutral taste, so that gives them lots of flexibility in cooking, baking, cereal etc..
