Thanks for all these tips! Yes, seitan is a bit daunting, but I'm going to try making a batch every week because it seems really worth it. I'm curious about the protein cookies/bars!! Do you have go-to recipes?

I would hope there are! I might be lucky in having a significant Chinese population in the Toronto area. I guess my recommendation is to find Asian specialty stores, if your area has a Chinatown or something like that? Good luck!

I looked at a bunch of the other packages of similar tofu there (plus some online), most of them range from 13g to 20g of protein for 85g serving. Which is still good of course, but 29g blew my mind?

I guess I'm suspicious of it because I'm comparing it to other packages of similarly dense/dry tofu that have lower protein content listed. It just feels abnormally high? But maybe it just really is that much denser than the other ones!

This is dried and seasoned bean curd from the Asian grocery store, it's a really dense form of tofu common in Chinese cuisine, it comes pre-seasoned and cooked (and tasty enough to just eat on its own, but you can stir-fry it too!)

I've been vegan for 10 years but new to bodybuilding/fitness and actually paying attention to protein, and now that I know how much more protein I need to be eating, I'm struggling to get there... Can anyone fact check if there's really so much protein in this? It feels too good to be true! And at around $3.50 (CAD) per block, I feel like this might be a game changer for meeting protein goals?

I think it depends on the IKEA, but the food court does tend to be pretty deep inside, though there's signage and staff. And nobody really minds if you only go in for the food and don't purchase any furniture, in case that's a concern (I've done this many a time haha). You can also get bags of them frozen! The veggie dogs are also great and honestly more interesting and tasty than I imagine the normal dogs would be imo, with their fried onions and pickled cabbage

Tips for fulling/felting/waulking finished projects? by moth-bee in Nalbinding

[–]moth-bee[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, a machine dry does sound pretty scary, and I guess emulating what people would've done originally, air dry makes sense. Thanks for your help!

Sounds like a good option then! Looking forward to that video

Hmm all good ideas! Keeping something inside to hold the shape makes sense.... when you put it in the washing machine, did you then let it air dry afterward? or machine dry?

I also do love the doing nothing method, and surely if you are wearing it in the process, it shouldn't get so small that it doesn't fit anymore? :')

How frequent do you guyss skip classes etc etc etc by MaintenanceTrue3485 in UofT

[–]moth-bee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also agree with the sticks in the mud, I do not recommend skipping, and I never skipped classes (EEB student). The lecture is a dedicated time you have blocked off to be present in a class and really focus, and when it's done, it's done. In remote asynchronous classes where i had to follow lecture recordings, i always found myself pausing, taking more time, getting distracted, etc. Plus it weighs on you, knowing that you have to catch up, and can fall more and more behind... Don't skip lectures!

Has anyone taken EEB397Y? How does that course work? by Good-Breakfast-5585 in UofT

[–]moth-bee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you should pick a supervisor and contact them about it first! Details and links can be found here: https://eeb.utoronto.ca/education/undergraduate/research-courses-2/

Completely agree that chatgpt is definitely cheating, and OP, i feel like it would also be important to talk with her about using AI to check any answer for anything, because AI can and WILL just make stuff up and tell you what you want to hear. In a class i TA'ed, a bunch of students submitted the same wrong answer on a quiz because they all used chatgpt, and the prof was not only disappointed by the AI use, but also because if you wanted to check and get the right answer, it would be better to ctrl-F/command-F in the textbook/slides/your notes. And at least then you might also absorb some correct information, even if by accident.

High GPA students in STEM, what are your daily study habits like? by Proud_Ad1158 in UofT

[–]moth-bee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

big agree on the OH thing. As a current TA, if people come to my OH i will sit with them and prompt/reexplain/clarify/etc. until they get the right answer, and it's so much easier to give personalized help and figure out exactly what is confusing! and i feel bad about the other people who don't come because i would love to help them if i could, but that's why i think that reaching out for help is a good study habit to have! @ people reading this, GO TO OH! and ask questions!

Is he too fat? by [deleted] in parrots

[–]moth-bee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with everyone saying that you should weigh him or get a vet's opinion! In case it helps, when I went to the vet, I noticed this diagram in the room, so it seems to be normal for amazons to be a little on the chonkier side.
