I'm doing my meal planning for tomorrow's lunch and was trying to decide between plant-based protein or eggs. I'm really focusing on getting enough protein as I ramp up but also keep calories in line so would I be hamstringing myself by choosing lentils or chickpeas over the eggs? Nope! All three have reasonable serving sizes (5 oz for chickpeas and lentils, or 2 eggs) and calories for the same 13 grams of protein. Chickpeas at 232 calories vs. the eggs' 155 is not nothing but not huge. Lentils at 164 calories is a wash to me. Lentils truly are a magical (and tasty) food :). #PlantBased#food#vegan#vegetarian#health#fitness#longevity#30DayHealthReboot
@hankg What about lupins? An acquired taste maybe, but high in protein and low in carbs (also high in fibre and fat). You’d get 13 g of protein from about 80 g of lupins: about 100 calories. #lupins#legumes
