putt_77 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 I found this recipe that for a mock chicken seitan that I really like. Here's the breakdown: 177 grams Vital Wheat Gluten21 grams Almond Meal/Flour1 tbsp(18 g) Soy Sauce1 Tablespoons Nutritional Yeast1 tbsp Olive OilPlus some poultry seasoning It's a bonus because even my 11-year old will eat it. I really like it because for every 28g it's 17.5p/5.4gC/3.2g fat, which is a terrific protein to carb ration when eating vegan. I am not too familiar with the nutrition of it in terms of bodybuilding, like some say tofu should be limited because of its estrogenic effects (though I've read conflicting information about that). Any comments by those in the know on the pros/cons of seitan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini Forklift Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 What's wheat gluten? Can't say I've came across that but it just doesn't sound overly great ?! I say if you like tofu/soy you should just eat it, the xenoestrogen's in there are minimal enough not to have any effect on us on a hormonal or physical level. Personally, soy and tofu intake is something that's never concerned me even as a male powerlifter that obviously needs to maximise my testosterone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synny667 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Wheat gluten is the protein in flour. You can actually take regular flour and turn it into seitan. You might like it Mini! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veganlifter7595 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 This one looks really good. I am going to try to make this tonight now that I am on the East Coast and there is a big blizzard that is preventing me from going to the gym.

stcalico Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 You might like this one too...chickpea cutlets- this recipe uses chickpeas instead of the almond flour. My first try at seitan turned out awful.. ie. rubbery gluey texture. To avoid my 'mistake' I recommend making the 'patties' fairly thin. The chickpea recipe turned out much better for me. I froze the leftover cutlets and reheated them (frying pan) for various meals... they go great with mashed potatoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
