I did some googling before I commented. It doesn’t have a significant caloric advantage. Triple tofu, but far less than nuts, and only a bit better than beans.
I heard somewhere that the quality of meat protein is far higher than vegetable protein, and that comparing quantity is a bad way to judge dietary requirements.
1 cup of beans can have a shit ton of salt increasing heart issues. Just be careful of how everything is prepared. No one source of food is a way to make a complete diet. For instance that 1 cup of beans can have more salt than 2 large fries from McDonald’s.
You could also put salt on beef as well, if people prepare food inappropriately that isn’t an indictment of the food itself, just the preparation of said food.
Never said it was an argument. Many people buy canned beans because they don’t want to spend hours rehydrating and cooking them. (This time can be cut down using a pressure cooker and a few other methods) That doesn’t change the fact that canned beans come with the salt and carbs.
Also since you are comparing to beef, beef has more than twice the protein per serving as common black beans. (Calories will be much higher in beef as well due to fat content). Which is why I said what I said originally, watch what you consume and how it prepared. A higher carb diet is what made America overweight to begin with, thankfully neither of these options have sugar in their raw forms

How is that an argument.
