    Honestly, I in general don’t really like when a meat is substituted for a food that is not a primarily protein source. Like replacing meat for cauliflower or jackfruit, as opposed to something with legumes or lentils

        From a taste perspective, umami.

        From a health perspective, eating more protein is really good for satiety and therefore weight loss. Personally, when I don’t go out of my way to incorporate extra protein sources, I usually just don’t feel satisfied and full. I understand and recognize that you literally don’t need a ton of extra protein to be healthy, but I feel best when I have it.
