Would he be willing to compromise on eggs? If you eliminate meat? (and perhaps let him bake once in a while, hard as it is)

This is a tough one - and you have my sympathies!

Another high protein whole grain to look into is quinoa - but that's still a grain.

I think it does bother him a lot that I eat meat and eggs and he very much would rather I did not. He believes in living a life of non-violence and me eating animals is violence. When the issue is religious it is hard to compromise, so eggs are out even if I could make an argument that eating unfertilized eggs is not any more violent than milking a cow. Tradition. I am disrespecting his tradition.

Even I try to avoid factory farm meat, but do eat it anyway when going out to eat. Cognitive dissonance!

My spouse does use quinoa in some of his cooking.
