I'm hypothyroid and have other problems with all legumes and have reasons to
restrict meat in my diet.  Some answers may be coming.  A nutritionist from a
university for adherents of vegetarian diets answered my inquiry and will send
me some information, and I have asked her if I can share the information on
plant-based nutrition.

I nibble on nuts (not peanuts) for some protein and certain minerals I need.
But I would like more protein food.
