Your posts have been part of the bible that helped me this far! I have read that post about 50 times! What do you think about beans? I eat the hell out of pink beans, breakfast, lunch, dinner (with other stuff of course) they give me energy and have decent protein.

Post 6 Many countries in the mid-east use garbanzo beans (chick peas) as a primary source of protein. In fact, the popular falafel is made by frying a garbanzo bean mixture in small balls - these fried falafel balls are usually served with yet more garbanzo beans in the form of hummus. Hummus is a paste made out of, you guessed it, more garbanzo beans.
It is an interesting case of a type of food being flavored by more of itself!
I've read in a nutritional book that beans lack the full amino acid spectrum and therefore, to gain the full protein benefit, it is better to eat them with rice or corn based foods that will make up the other amino acid. If this true, and how does your body combine them to make it so? You can do this by adding BCAA's or even Gear (NTBM)
Just came from large chain grocery store & dry beans there listed lentils as having 10g of protein per 1/4 cup. That would be 40g per cup.
Also dry pinto, navy, & great northern beans were listed as 8g of protein per 1/4 cup so that would be 32g per cup. Not Bad when you tally it all up!
The discrepancy has to do with whether the beans are cooked or not. Very generally speaking, 1/4 cup of raw beans turns into about 1 cup of beans after cooking.
All beans are high in fiber, protein and antioxidants and at the same time low in fat. A great health food that also keeps the weight down.
SoyBeans are the highest followed by Black Beans.So Chow down.
I' m Happy i have Been of some help to you.
