10-Minute Tempeh Sandwich (Naturallie Plant-Based)

The biggest number on the list comes from the least effort: a whole 8-ounce block of tempeh split between two sandwiches, ready in about 10 minutes, for a stated 38 grams of protein and 579 calories each. That makes it the obvious post-gym lunch when cooking is the last thing anyone wants to do. The calories are honest about where they come from, with avocado and vegan cheese doing the flavor work, so it suits a heavy training day better than a cut. Tempeh's firm, nutty bite also means the filling holds its shape between thick slices of bread.
