    Google tells me 400g of tuna is 112g of protein.

    Lentils clocks in at 36g

    Beans are all over the place. Some seen pretty good for protein tbh. Never heard of winged beans before.

    If I needed to be that cheap, why should I care to live?

      I have seen this same argument on Lemmy multiple times: poor people should be happy to live on beans and rice rather than have any form of animal protein, even if it tastes really good to them.

      I’m not in favor of farming animals on an industrial scale, but I also hate this whole idea that poor people should be satisfied with bland, restrictive diets while the rich can eat whatever the hell they want.

      400g of canned tuna is 75g of protein, you looked up fresh most likely, not canned which contains lots of water.

      Ya’ll are ridiculous.
