   The hardest part of going plant-based for me isn't finding veggie-centered foods that I enjoy eating. It's feeling full for more than 30 minutes at a time.

     @hosford42 @timthelion bean-ish, but a bit nutty. It’s like tofu in that it’ll take on the flavour of whatever you cook it in. I like to bake it in the oven until it’s lightly crispy, then coat it in whatever sauce I’m using - usually something a bit salty and sweet.

     @timthelion I've never tried it. What's the flavor like?

     @hosford42 I had this problem when I started. Now I just use a lit of tempeh...

     @hosford42 I had this problem. Still do, if I’m not careful. For me it was getting enough fats and protein, as I don’t struggle with getting enough carbs. If I’ve played sport the day before I’ll now add a heaped tablespoon of protein powder (rice, pea, hemp etc) to my morning cereal or smoothie. Makes a massive difference, it gets rid of my cravings. Can recommend giving it a try to see what it does to your hunger, it can’t hurt.

     That or make a big tofu scramble and eat the whole thing 😛

     @hosford42 @timthelion Don’t be put off if you don’t get it right the first go, it took me a while. I found if I didn’t cook it right it retained a bit of the sour fermented taste, which was a bit overpowering. Now I love it, I eat it a couple of times a month at least.

     Lots of recipes call for marinating it, I’ve not mastered that yet for some reason. Definitely give that a try though.

     @Brendanjones @timthelion I definitely need to give it a try
