It depends from farm to farm how they treat them and how big their area is. However, regardless of how big it is, they're not allowed out. Like if you had a prisoner, and he was allowed to walk around the whole prison, he's still prisoner he can't leave the prison.

I have a nasty digestive system. Egg whites don't upset it and are a great protein source.

I like the fact they're low fat, too...

Thanks flanders, I appreciate it.

By nasty, I mean many foods upset my whole digestive system. It becomes a challenge to eat. Right now I'm back into the "I'd rather be hungry than deal with the results of what happens when I eat." (booo)
I've looked into things for many years and it's a whole other story. My GP hasn't been all that helpful. Soon I'm seeing a very good doctor who I have been referred to who I'm really confident will figure me out. She is renowned for it and has helped a lot of people get their lives back so to speak.

I've learned through a lot of experimenting that I should avoid wheat, oats, gluten, and pretty much all grains. I don't know why but they kill me. Dairy is out (a non issue here!) as well.

Well, here is what I can eat without getting basically incapacitated by cramps, gas, bloating and a lot of digestive, er "issues":
eggs, fish, chicken (clearly unvegan)
-some fruit (not mangoes, not pineapple - darn, they're so good)
-cooked vegetables (broccoli, spinach, cauliflower, etc. and I LOVE veggies)
- squash and sweet potatoes
-Soy protein powder isolate
-Tofu - however I hear too much soy has its own health pitfalls
- tempeh / LOVE IT
- hemp protein (but it's so grainy....can you help?)
- Beans and lentils in moderation -
-healthy fats like nuts and good oils
- Normal things like spices, seasonings, miso, vinegar, mustard etc...
I'm a great cook and am willing to spend time preparing things.

Please do inform me about how the debate started. Why do bodybuilders/physique athletes place so much emphasis on high protein if it really doesn't matter? I agree first and foremost is to eat ENOUGH calories, but doesn't the relative ratio of the macronutrients also play a key role in body composition/muscle recovery? I am interested in being unbrainwashed about the protein. I do think it's important to get some at each meal, I find if you eat all carbs and nothing else that you get hungry waaaay faster... no? Doesn't protein slow the digestion of the carbs?

It is low fat, you are right. But looking here will show you that it has only 10,9 % protein. Tofu has 10,4. And it is plant based meaning better for your health and everything else...
