Meat is actually not a good source of protein compared to plant proteins. Meat was a good way of turning stuff we couldn’t eat into stuff we can, but now they just feed livestock grains anyways.
Lentils have waaaayyyyyy more protein to weight.
I’m not sure I understand you correctly, but lentils have ~20g protein per 100g while chicken has ~50g. Do you mean compared to grains?
Everything I can find says that lentils have waaaayyyy more protein. Maybe it’s the difference between cooked and dry? The water is going to add a lot of weight and zilch protein.
Can you post a source? I’d like to believe this but it seems incorrect considering the protein content I googled.

Could you? I’m very curious as to the discrepancy lol
But they taste like lentils :-(
Delicious?
I mean yeah. Sometimes they’re really good. Sometimes they’re bland mush.
Yeah, you have to cook them right, just like anything. Meat tastes awful if you cook it wrong, too.
Besides the other stuff I wrote, I just like chickpeas better.
But must of us grew up to know how to cook meat. I learned how to cook vegetarian meals that aren’t side dishes when I was 30. Besides spaghetti Napoli I mean.
