I had a lot of fun reading this, as a 27 year old vegetarian also fighting an uphill battle to get enough protein. The sardines make for a lot better story than the nondescript packages of tofu I subsist on 😅
Thanks for giving me an intellectual and physiological justification for my love of tinned mussels and oysters. Even the ones from Trader Joe’s are pretty tasty.

The bones are a prime source of protein and collagen!
Several friends have emailed to say they eat them!
This was a wonderfully educational read that will help me in my quest to be fit and build muscle as I age. Thank you for sharing your experience.
