Tvp?
Would this be acceptable for vegs on HCG?
If so, has anyone used this? How do you prepare it??
I've seen it every time I go to the natural food store locally, but I have no idea what to do with it.
Thanks!

Uhm, no. Not on P2, not on P3, and only occasionally in P4. Texturized Vegetable Protein, made from defatted soy flour, is too high in carbs and too low in protein to count as a protein source for the HCG protocol.
Normally, it's a good substitute for ground beef in nugget or mince form (which is how its commonly sold, but it can be found in chunks occasionally). You hydrate it, spice it up with soy sauce, liquid smoke, braggs, etc, and it makes good taco meat, sloppy joes, etc. but there are better choices for us, and vegetarians in general.
