No, More than beans. After several months of trial and error (because the whey protein created GI issues) I found VEGA Protein + Greens, 20 g Creamy Vanilla. This has a pea protein base, similar to the AGT foods Veggipasta rotoni. Two meals a day: Prepare my Gluten free Farmers We Know Rolled Oats for the day. Bring 4 cups water to boil, add 2 cups rolled oats and cook for 8 minutes. This creates 4 cups of cooked rolled oats. Opinion: If you want the soluable fiber you don't need to rinse this much. I don't want the soluable fiber so I rinse it was a lot of hot water. That's up to you. The meal: 5 oz of cooked rolled oats, one Dannon light & Fit Greek Blueberry Yougart, one cup, 140 g organic frozen blueberries (thaw for 60 sec in microwave), liquify with Califa Farms organic oat milk. This is 8 oz of food, 40 g of protein and 10 g of fiber. Your system may not be able to handle this much at once, so this could actually be two meals. Check with your doctors first. I have been eating this everyday for 4 years now. Boring? Yes! But I feel that these changes have helped me get back to my pre COVID life.

@jimthescientist in addition to LC now, I have to be Lactose free. Ad I have a condition of IBS because I was on so many anto biotics from do many badder infections.cat eat blueberries , only pinnapple.
Thank goodness for THAT. But I found out that lactose free yogurt
Is my savior. So my breakfast is
Oatml, cooked with lactose , a tspn
Of chia seeds and a handful of walnuts . Then I have Greek Lactose Free yogurt. I find, what’s weird, is sometimes I’m so starving hungry ,all of a sudden, that I eat protein like crazy. Other times I find I have no appetite and could care less if ever touched food ever again! BUT, FOOD IS MEDICINE,
I know, so I then eats little bit very often. I find protein bars, like
Atkins bars, that don’t have “ “ sugar” , something I can eat, and carry with me , and just little bites
Of it often sit well in my tummy.
