    I haven’t actually heard of TVP, I’ve heard of seitan though I’ve never had the chance to try it. But yeah that’s the big problem, most of the plant based proteins that I’m aware of are either very high carb or you need a large volume of them to get that protein content. Both of which don’t work with her restrictions.

    I don’t have particularly high hopes for seitan given what I’ve heard about it as far as like the texture aversions in the house go. She’s in the spectrum too and most likely where there kids get it from. She actually got kind of informally diagnosed through them being diagnosed before her health started really going downhill. But I’m willing to give anything a shot, especially if there’s a chance to make the food budget stretch a bit more with all these dietary restrictions in the house with our limited income. I’ll be on the lookout for them.
