@Chris, I eat quite a bit of chia sometimes. Rumored to be good for hydration because of how much water they’ll hold onto. Slow release I guess?

Chia gel/pudding is yummy stuff, but the ALA omega-3 in chia is not very bioavailable. I wouldn’t use them for a source of omega 3.

I’m coming to this a little late probably, but I’ll add to my greek yogurt chia seeds which are a great source of omega-3s, vitamins, minerals, etc. Used by several ultra-runners. Also, from time to time I eat Buckwheat Groats which I enjoy. Hope this helps some.

I LOVE hemp seeds! I just bought a 5 lb bag of it from Amazon. It was only $44.

Try soaked beans – I enjoy red kidney beans in small portions.

Tempeh might be good and lots of nuts. Pine nuts have 9.5 grams of protein in one serving. And, lentils are the best legumes to eat with a good amount of protein.

What about a protein supplement? Would you do whey protein? If not there are green protein supplements that provide a good amount.

Thanks for the suggestions Todd!

Don’t forget for protein:

“3. Fuel up: eat fermented foods! These contain K2 in abundance (and fermented foods are just generally excellent for your health anyway).

Here are a few fermenty favorites:

Tempeh”

The few legume exception I see that is probably OK to do occasionally ,
like when a triathelete goes out of his mind and wants to go vegetarian.
