Making your own seitan can be affordable -- a bag of wheat gluten costs about $7-8 dollars where I live, but it makes a LOT. I can cook yes however I've never really been that adventurous with my cooking (I genuinely just googled what seitan was). Do most health food shops do tofu?? That sounds so bad considering I've been veggie most of my life haha but pasta, rice and potatos are my staples and have been since I was very young.

I just started adding weights to my fitness regime however if I do a full session I am pretty much prevented from going to the gym or even really walking because I get such severe pains in my legs and arms. Someone has suggested to me that it could be due to lack of protein and sure enough when I checked my nutritional stats I am getting between 15-20% protein where I should be getting 30%. Whats missing from there is made up via carbs. Issue is I'm a veggie and also a poor student and things like quorn tend to be quite expensive. Does anybody have any cheap protein suggestions? I do not want to have my muscles dying like this indefinetly!!
