Some highlights:
Protein per 100g
Ground Beef: ~18
Beef (Steak): ~22
Chicken breast: ~15g
Tofu: ~17
Peanuts: ~ 28
Cashews: ~17
Almonds: ~21
Bean corner, all listed raw and dry, when cooked mass increases by 2-2.5x so protein content will half or a bit more, 100g of dry beans soaked and cooked is ~the contents of 1 can(? i think):
Soybeans: ~37 (waow, also crazy high on iron, best macro balance of any food? 37 protein, 20 fat, 30 carbs)
Chickpeas(Garbonzo beans): ~20
Navy Beans: ~22
Black beans: ~22
Red kidney beans: ~23
Red lentils: ~24
Didn’t humans basically invent both of these? Imo the Neolithic Revolution is really about creating new sources of food from plants that are either inedible or have nutrients that aren’t bioavailable to humans.
Try replacing rice with Mujadara with varying ratios. Up to 3:1 (dry) lentils:rice still feels like pretty much rice. You can train your body to accept more fiber and eating a lot of rice makes you shit better too and levels out the fiber.

soybeans are the reason I think graham hancock’s hypotheses that we’ve inherited alien technology might have some merit
They’re also one of a handful of plant-based complete protein sources. Quinoa is another one and it’s also kind of alien.

ssssshhhhhhh the pseudoarchaeologists might hear you!
I love adding beans wherever I can, such amazing fiber and a great protein boost, with a texture I enjoy. Just an awesome food.
i love beans but beans don’t love me

Rice is nice! Cut with 1/4-1/2 lentils for a healthy surprise.
