Food

Egg substitutes are generally low in purines and safe for gout when replacing high-purine meats, but plant-based versions carry moderate purine content.

Your feedback
Good for you

Egg white–based substitutes are very low in purines, making them an excellent protein choice. Plant-based versions like Just Egg also work because plant purines are less linked to gout flares.

Bad for you

Some plant-based substitutes (e.g., mung bean protein) have moderate purine levels, though still safer than animal proteins. Avoid pairing them with high-purine sides or sugary drinks.
