1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.
Direct Image Links Only Only direct links to .png, .jpg, and .jpeg image formats are permitted.
Educational Infographics Only Infographics must aim to educate and inform with structured content. Purely narrative or non-informative infographics may be removed.
Serious Guides Only Nonserious or comedy-based guides will be removed.
No Harmful Content Guides promoting dangerous or harmful activities/materials will be removed. This includes content intended to cause harm to others.
By following these rules, we can maintain a diverse and informative community. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to the moderators. Thank you for contributing responsibly!
Stolen comment:
Obvious animal-industrial complex propaganda. Plant based proteins have way higher values than shown here (eg. boiled chickpeas have 15g, most tofus have 20g+ etc., just search any one of them up). The list also ignores staple, high-protein foods of this type (like beans and seeds), while including very low-protein foods that nobody thinks of as a source of protein (brocolli and avocado, really?), making the comparison seem less favorable.
Staging your meals around complete proteins is also completely unnecessary as long as your diet is even somewhat varied. Your body doesn’t need to get every amino acid at the same time to be able to make proteins.
Just to check, did a quick search on usda.
Values aren't off that much, tho meat protein value seems to be overstated. It's still likely propaganda, since they're not calorie-wise protein which gives better outlook for balaced diet.
Why include avocado and brown rice over protein rich foods like tempeh or seitan?
What is this sorting?
Inspiring, I'd like to see a better guide.
And where are the mushrooms?
They're not animal or plant.
I'd like to see this normalized by dry weight or by calorie instead
Protein / calories, and glycemic index, right. There are a few other considerations, but primarily these, for me
my god the original reddit comment section is a shitshow
The kinda important bit this graphic leaves out is carbohydrates.
Legumes have a TON of protein, but also a lot of carbs. A 1:1 protein replacement would add a boatload of carbs if not adjusted for.
