I love that stuff! Can't get it anywhere round here, but when I get into town 20 miles away, I stock up.Granovita Nut Luncheon is tasty. It fries up in slices, it's basically peanut but not oily peanut.
Ahh, so you can cope with carrying lots of stuff then.93kg bodybuilder, 16 inch arms 20inch legs 48 inch chest, need a lot of protein to maintain my body.

We evolved as opportunistic carnivorous omnivores, and we also got sugar fixes - via honey / fruits - too now and then. And we can, rather unsurprisingly, work pretty well with a modern diet that reflects this. I raise beef and lamb, but if stat's are to be believed, I eat less meat than the national average - in great part down to the wisdom of Mrs GNJC.Toddy is our resident vegetarian expert - and I bow to her superior wisdom - but I have to ask: is the need to cut out meat entirely or reduce it drastically? What I mean is, if you camp say 20 nights a year, could you eat meat at camp which equates to around 5% of the time?
I know vegetarians that don't eat any form of meat, some that can't resist a bacon sarnie, and others that are happy to eat chicken (OK, I agree, they're clearly not vegetarian!). My point being, it doesn't have to be all or nothing for many people.
Not trying to be smart, but two things come to mind, which have very probably occurred to you already, but... I think I'm of at least average intelligence, yet am regularly faced with obvious truths that I hadn't thought of something bleeding obvious......Since the hernia, (which I have been told I will have to live with unless it becomes bigger or strangulated), everytime I eat meat, the same agonising pain comes back and it takes over 24 hrs to subside.
Can't eat soya as I have a thyroid issue and soya messes with thyroid hormones, just my luck.
I know it sounds a lot of protein and calories, but my body needs those amounts to maintain what I am and my activity level. (90kg , 15% bmi , 3 x 10 mile walks a week with the dogs, 2 days physical labour at work, then weight training for 2 hours 3x per week)
Beans are my main source at the moment, along with whey protien shake, just started trying different lentils and such, just concerned the lack of protein over 7 day long camps would be an issue.
(Highlands next week, 7 days, average temp -5 , another the same in October and at least 4 other week long camps this year)...
It really hasn't; read the thread and you'll see the OP is not going for a veg' diet by choice... and so, if alternatives that offer him a preferred diet may be possible, why not mention them?Why does every vegetarian thread on this forum get derailed by a slew of pro meat commentary? Do meat eaters fee threatened by them or are just champing at the bit to comment and defend what they eat?
Next time someone goes off to the woods and posts a thread of them eating sausages and cooking steak, folk can point out the health risks, environmental effects and suggest some meat free alternatives.
Perhaps you are just suffering from the original (or transferred?) self-righteousness that a tiny minority of vegans and veg's exude, and so are reading and implying a bit too much into things, it happens. Of course, and I don't doubt, you also question the seemingly irresistible urge some vegans have to lecture about their preferred diet.

Will be interesting to see how it bakes.And the other item I was going to suggest is lupin flour, 46g of protein per 100g.
We have a bag ourselves to try, probably mix it in to some other flour based bakes.
