And even then they are moronic. Bananas and eggs are entirely different things and they do not make the same products. Try replacing an egg wash with mashed bananas and see how that works for you.
baking often involves sweet things. These can work but as crackedlinuxiso said they specific to various properties. egg as binder vs egg as a wash, etc.
They really don’t unless you have an understanding of food science. Infographics like this aren’t useful without the kibd of background that makes it useless
For cooking, you can substitute with beans or tofu or such. If you want specifically egg-like taste, you might be able to find Kala Namak in the store, which is basically salt+sulphur.
However, I would very much question the choice to combine three protein-rich foods…
I mean, I could argue a lack of vitamins, a lack of taste variation, a lack of foods that actually fill up your stomach and therefore satiate you, but really my main concern is constipation.
I guess, that is another way to fill up your stomach, when no food can leave your body, but it does mean you’re full of shit all the time.
Yeah, it really wasn’t clear. It could’ve also been sarcastic (because you might think it’s very obviously bad) or it could’ve been aggressive (because folks suffering from toxic masculinity will feel like you’re questioning their whole identity).
It’s just hard to tell from plain text, what your intention is. My response kind of had to navigate all three interpretations. 😅
But yeah, so proteins are kind of cool, because they take relatively long to digest (similar to whole-grain foods, for example). This means they stay around in your stomach for multiple hours, keeping you relatively satiated over time and also helping to keep blood sugar levels at a steady rate (which is what we want).
But on the flipside, proteins don’t take up a lot of volume, so if you eat only protein-rich foods, you will have to eat far too much of it before you feel satiated, since our body mainly registers satiation by how full the stomach is.
This is made worse for bacon, egg and cheese, because they’re also relatively fatty/greasy foods, which is an even more condensed form of energy.
And unlike whole-grain foods or beans, there’s also not a lot of fiber in bacon/egg/cheese. Fiber passes through your digestive system undigested, meaning it’s free real estate volume to help fill up your stomach and it helps to loosen up what comes out on the other side.
Very little fiber in combination with the protein taking relatively long to digest is why constipation is likely when eating only protein-rich foods.
Ooooooh I totally see it now. I tend to ask very straight forward questions and then get surprised EVERY TIME when it’s interpreted as potentially aggressive or sarcastic (this behaviour is also brought to you by neurodivergence)
Love the info dump and it’s a very useful info dump for me to learn how to feed myself better!
sorry, but i am not going to make myself a bacon, 3tbsp of peanut butter, and cheese. these seem like very poor substitutions.
Presumably these are for baking.

Yeah no, that’s dumb of course. A better breakfast alternative would be wet flax, sunny side up.

Why would you question that

Makes sense :) thanks for taking the time to answer.
(Dunno why I got down voted, just in case it wasn’t clear it was a genuine question)

Bacon, peanut butter and cheese on a biscuit doesn’t sound that bad to be honest. Kinda a sweet and savory kind of deal
