💪 If you are strapping up from rep one, every set, every session - you are using them wrong.
Straps are a tool. Not a shortcut.
On any pulling movement - deadlifts, RDLs, rows, lat pulldowns - your target muscle should be what fails. Not your grip. Start without straps. When your hands start to go, straps on. Now your grip is out of the equation and the muscle has to actually work until it gives out. That is the set that builds the muscle.
If you strap up from the first rep every time, your grip never gets challenged. Never gets stronger. That catches up with you.
One exception. Injury or disability - straps on from the start, every set, no debate. That is exactly what they are there for.
Straps on at the right moment make your training better. Straps on too early hold you back.

Most vegan proteins are complete. This graphic proves it.
Five green proteins - edamame, tofu, tempeh, TVP, h**p seeds all contain every essential amino acid your body needs. DIAAS scores comparable to chicken and beef. That is not a vegan claim. That is the FAO’s own measure of protein quality.
DIAAS - the FAO’s gold standard for protein quality. It measures how much protein your body actually absorbs, not just what is in the food. Soy scores 84–100. Comparable to animal protein.
The amber proteins - lentils, chickpeas, black beans are missing one amino acid. Methionine. Cover it by eating rice, oats, or any grain in the same day. Not the same meal. The same day.
Seitan sits in red. Not because it is bad - 24g of protein per 100g. But it is low in lysine. Pair it with any legume across the day and the gap is closed.
Red does not mean avoid. It means pair it.
Build every meal around a green protein. Use the rest freely.

Aldi vegan protein finds, not bad but missed verity. No essential like TVP or seitan.
Not to be boring and pick tofu as my favourite, man I love tofu!
Fake chicken pieces are my winner! 23g of protein per 100g and no animals had to die 🙃

Nine UK-verified vegan protein sources. From actual product labels.
TVP at 52g per 100g dry with a full amino acids
Seitan at 24g - more than most cuts of beef. Tempeh at 22g with gut-health benefits on top. Lentils with more iron than lean beef per 100g.
All of it. Zero cholesterol. Zero factory farms.
The protein question has been answered. It always had been.

💾 Save this. My top vegan protein sources per 100g #
UK verified from actual product labels.
TVP leads at 52g per 100g dry 🌱
Seitan at 24g -more protein per gram than most cuts of beef.
Tempeh at 22g with gut health benefits on top.
And black-eyed peas made my list — I’ve been eating them constantly lately. Slightly underused in UK vegan cooking and genuinely one of my favourites right now 🖤
Worth a mention on fake meats - products like THIS!, Vivera, and Linda McCartney average around 16–17g of protein per 100g, zero cholesterol, and a fraction of the saturated fat found in animal meat. They also produce significantly less carbon and use far less land and water to produce. Not whole food, but a solid convenient option 🌍
Every source on this list. Zero compromise. Zero cholesterol.

If summer is creeping up and you are still feeling stuck, still not sure what to eat, still training without a real plan - one week of proper structure can shift that more than you think.
The Free 7-Day Summer Reset starts tomorrow morning and it is completely free.
Over the seven days we are covering:
🥗 Calories and protein - so you finally stop guessing
🍳 Bulk cooking and meal planning that actually fits into a real week
💪 How to push your training forward instead of just turning up
😴 Recovery, because most people skip this and then wonder why they feel burnt out
📊 Macros for a vegan diet, kept simple
🔥 High-protein recipes that do not taste like an afterthought
…and so much more
Every day I will be in the group coaching you through it. No flicking between apps, no conflicting advice, just a clear week of doing the right things properly.
Sign-ups close today. It starts tomorrow morning.

No cost. No catch. Just seven days of proper structure before summer arrives.
If you have been putting it off, this is your sign.

No flipping between apps. No guessing. No starting Monday and quitting by Wednesday.
Just seven days of doing the basics properly, with a plan and someone in your corner.
Summer is closer than it feels. This is how you meet it differently.

Most people stay stuck before summer because:
❌ They wait for the perfect time to start
❌ They try to change everything at once
❌ They rely on motivation - and it comes and goes
But here’s the truth - you don’t need a perfect plan. You don’t need to overhaul your entire diet overnight. You just need one good week with the right support behind you.
The 7-Day Summer Reset is 7 days of structure, small wins, and real momentum - on a fully plant-based diet 🌱
One week from now you could already feel like a different version of yourself - and summer will still be ahead of you.
Come and join us. We start Monday 🌱
