You're aware of how many more grams of food you need with legumes to have the same proteins as a tiny slice of meat?

Protein per 100g of meat (let's say beef): ~26g

Protein per 100g of soy beans: ~40g raw, ~30g cooked

PDCAAS for beef (Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score): 0.92

PDCAAS for soy: 0.91

Approximately no additional grams, if you pick the right legumes.

Interesting. Beef is overall more nutritious and tastier anyway, albeit much more expensive.

Beef is dense in some nutrients but it certainly is not more nutrient dense in general. Plugging food into cronometer.com should be mandatory in HN nutrition discussions.
