are these just cheat codes to dieting?
>over 20g of protein in just 100 grams, easily pair with meats
>whole daily intake of fibre in 100 grams
>only 350 cals per 100
>easiest vegetable to cook into anything
>or simple seasoned soup in 20 minutes
>can be stored anywhere
>just hot water is all you need
>cheap as shit
what the fuck im going to reach my goal in like 6 months because of these things, there has to be a catch

>>76273874 (OP)
>over 20g of protein in just 100 grams
Only when they are raw, when cooked it's about 9g per 100 grams

>>76273883
>cooking your lentils

>>76273883
That's still pretty good for any filling food, right?

And how much dry/uncooked lentils do you need to get one cooked cup?

>>76273874 (OP)
I'm not some jeet, I'll stick to meat.

It wouldn't kill you to be a bit less of a materialist faggot. When civil war comes, you probably won't be able to eat your steak every day.

>>76273904
admit it, you've asked ai if you're ever going to "make it" haven't you?

>>76273883
Incorrect

>>76273883
well of course, they absorb water and thus a hundred grams of dry lentils turn into more than 200 grams so "per 100g" the amount of protein goes down. but naturally the calories for 100g reduce by the same factor.

>>76273883
100g of lentis (cooked) is < 1/2 a cup. Pretty small serving, if you're using it as your protein. If you're eating 100g of lentils weight BEFORE cooking, then you're eating about a cup, which if you're eating it as your main protein then that's fine.

>>76273883
>source: my ass

Retarded amerilards and their dumb 'cups'. Why can't you use grams like civilized people?

>>76273894
>That's still pretty good for any filling food, right?
No, it's pretty bad.

I prefer black beans and brown rice. Tons of protein, fiber, and it's really filling. The rice complements the protein profile of the black beans. Serving sizes for the black beans and rice in pic related are dry, I re-weigh after cooking and the servings come out to an average of ~250g of black beans & ~120g of rice.

I'm a german who has been living in the US for 15 years now and its literally the superior form of measurement for casual daily activities
cups are superior
inches are superior
miles are fucking retarded though

>>76273874 (OP)
I still could get hungry after that. I don't even.

>>76274579
We like to use measurements that we can feasibly eyeball and not be forced to use a scale every time we want to eat something.
>I can eyeball grams
Sure thing

>>76273978
less than a cup because they absorb water like everything else
are you retarded

>>76273874 (OP)

Hindus eat their body weight in lentils (daal) and they don’t have any muscle definition or physical prowess. How??

>>76273874 (OP)
yep, these are the goat, i eat them with chicken breasts every day

>>76273874 (OP)
only problem with lentils is plant based protein is lower quality (harder for the body to extract the protein). it's great as a cheap staple ingredient to add volume to stews/soups, but should be supplemented with higher quality proteins (chicken, beef, egg) when possible.

>>76274681
So why not use ml or dl? or are you just using a random "cup" to measure cup?

>>76273874 (OP)
Legumes are based, like all doctors *and* your grandma have tried to tell you for ages.

>there has to be a catch
there is two:

one: what >>76275278 said about the quality of protein. which is easy to fix.
two: more and more influencers know about it, and soon the prices will go up as they put into the category of "superfoods"

Isn't the bioavailiability of plant protein less than meat?

"Cup" in and of itself is a measurement. There are kitchen utensils labelled as "teaspoon, 1/2 tsp etc, tablespoon, 1/2 tbsp etc, cup, 1/2 cup etc".

I'm not American and have a few of these. Also gram is a measurement of mass (amount of 'stuff'/matter that make up the object) and not volume (how much space the object takes up), you can't really eyeball that.

>>76274626
Not to be that guy but how 'bioavailable' is the protein within these black beans relative to say chicken meat or even (presumably cooked) eggs? Also I'm curious why you chose brown rice over just regular, don't really have an opinion myself one way or another.

>>76275261
What I read is that it could be genetic due to all the centuries/millennia of diet. Although India is a mishmash of different ethnicities, so idk how that tracks between all of them & between castes.

>>76277968
They have really poor public health. Like insanely bad. You don't become truly immune to the detriments of drinking sewage and having a ton of parasites. You just don't die from it until you're 50 and immune system isn't able to tank those hits. It's still negatively impacting your health most of your life particularly growth potential. It's likely they're probably still at a genetic disadvantage but compared to having Victorian era public health you can't even tell.

>>76278001
Oh yeah I sort of forgot it's mostly a cesspit in that regard lol. Pretty depressing their supposedly holy river is saturated with shit, garbage, and human remains.

Take the lentils with ground beef pill.
Eat like an infant for weekdays, eat something fancy over weekends.

>>76277952
Bioavailability of protein in properly cooked black beans is around 75-80%. The "anti-nutrients" people refer to are phytates. Despite slightly impacting the absorption of protein & some other nutrients, overall they are not a problem as long as you're eating enough nutrient-rich food (and multi-vitamin further helps w/ vitamin c). Phytates actually have a lot of positives for our bodies, they're linked to reduced cancer rates in multiple studies, so not worth avoiding completely. So, if you want to play it safe, just subtract ~25% of the protein from black beans and make sure you're still hitting your protein goals. Also, pressure cooking is the best way to prepare black beans (and the easiest) and reduces the most phytate content.

I choose brown rice since it has slightly higher protein & fiber content vs white rice, which complements the black beans. I also use a rice cooker which makes preparing it braindead easy.

>>76273894
Wheat flour has over 13g. You're literally better off eating baguette.
Legumes are pretty shit tier, a meme that spread because of pajeets takung over the chans.

>>76278353
I thought ricecookers were a meme after stovetop cooking rice for a few years, until I got one and tried it. I'll seldom ever go back to stovetop cooking rice again, I love this thing. If anything they're underhyped.

>>76278353
Why do you lie?

>Übersicht mit KI
Black bean protein has a bioavailability of around 59%, meaning that approximately 59% of the protein in black beans is actually absorbed and utilized by the body.
Or is it cope?

You fucking thirdies and you pagan veganism. And then you wonder why you all look DYEL and go muh genes.

How do you cook the lentils? They either come out mushy or undercooked for me.

>>76278387
>relying on google AI overview for your nutrition facts
kek. one of the drivers of the lower protein bioavailability in beans is due to the EAA profile imbalance, which is why you include rice- it fixes the imbalance & greatly increases the overall bioavailability

>>76278468
This sounds like you made it up. Can you explain it with more detail?

>>76278468
grok is this true?

How do you guys even make your lentils?

>>76278419
>mushy
Usually not a problem for me because I fry them after into a sauce with some kind of meat and rice/noodles
>undercooked
I find adding a teaspoon of baking soda improves their cook time dramatically, and improves the texture to a point that I was able to eat month old open "stale" beans. Acidic water makes them harder to cook. I find this problem more with broad beans than lentils though. Cook times are usually ~1 hour or so, maybe more if I set the heat to low instead of medium-low.

>>76278375
>100g wheat bread: 270kcal

at least you can eat over 200g of bread in one sitting without shitting your guts out

same can't be said about lentils

lentils stay in your stomach longer than other foods

Protip: use baking soda and blender to make them dissolve in water. Turns into fiber/starch/protein shake, basically.

>>76282474
Interesting. Seems like it might be a good idea to use a little less water and make it into a sludge and then bake loaves of it like lentil bread.

>>76282484

i found a recipe and made some bretty good buns out of it. probably would work for bread as well.
