Meatless Pepperoni
Has anyone tried this ? I miss eating pepperoni pizza , I use to make homemade pizza's all the time , (unhealthy ones ) of course.. I heard Dr. Oz say there was a meatless Pepperoni. I saw some at the National Grocers store today and fat grams is 4.5 per serving, big difference from the origional pepperoni.. I want to try and make some healthy version pizza. I want to know if there is a taste difference in meatless pepperoni? thanks. PeaceV Wendy

I've been a vegetarian for a long time. I like the meatless pepperoni. I think it tastes a lot like real pepperoni, although since it's been almost 30 years since I've eaten real pepperoni, maybe I don't remember exactly what it tastes like. My cat likes the meatless pepperoni, too. But of course the only way for you to know if you like it is to try it and see.

Kelly,
I'm planning on having WLS, and having been a vegetarian for 10 years, I'm nervous about my protein intake. Have you had any issues? I keep seeing posts on the importance of dense protein, and I was wondering how you ensure you get enough.
Thanks
Oh, and to the OP, veggie pepperoni is good, but not the same as the real stuff--way less greasy.
The first few months I had a lot of trouble getting enough protein. I had trouble finding a protein shake I liked and couldn't eat enough food to get enough protein. Now, though, I get around 80 to 90 grams a day with no trouble at all.
