>if you want to be extra disingenuous, you can take the physics major route and argue that because it exists in the universe, it is natural therefore a sausage hot n ready is a natural food
it's not me that's disingenuous, it is marketing language and people that use it are disingenuous. and yes, lightning bolts and snake venom are all natural, and both will kill you. so natural does not mean safe, good, etc etc. but you already know this
>switched to high protein diet
beans ARE a high protein diet, they have amounts comparable to meat, which is why people going vegetarian think you need to eat tons of it. you just swapped one protein for another.
when you are doing endurance work, you use up the glycogen (sugar water) in your muscles and need to replenish it. you don't really need tons of exogenous protein because generally people's bodies do a great job of recycling nutrients. you will notice that distance runners and those sorts do not gnaw on chicken breast as they run down the track, they slurp down glucose packs meant for diabetics.
also the pain you describe can be the result of undercooked beans, which i think is what's going on here. there are literal poisons that need deactivating via cooking in them.
at any rate, you don't need to eat beans, and maybe you have problems with them. some people do. but you could eat oatmeal, pasta, rice, bread along with a bit of say broccoli and a half an orange, and you would have whatever you need in a day.
