A very cheap vegetarian protein is TVP textured vegetable protein, $6 CAD a bag. A 1/4 cup is 11g soy protein, just add a tiny bit boiling water to soak then 1/2 cup Swiss style muesli and hot 1% milk. I add cashews, walnut pieces, 4 dates, 2 prunes = 30g protein. The TVP isn't pasteurized so ...

I was walking through my nearby park the other day, no kids on the climbing playground so went over and did 6 pull-ups for fun. I should do that more often, be good if they had an adult outdoor exercise station.

Heat Warning: 5pm 35°C (95 F) Feels 46 C (114.8 F)

I exercise every day, at 72 am pretty fit and disciplined. I have an old friend I've know for 50 odd years and try to get him to do exercise other than walkabout, but he tells me he just can't get motivated.
