Yeah, we can't really reduce animal proteins further, for health and energy reasons. Even dairy and eggs will set you back, quite a bit, if you buy the good stuff. I could just buy cheaper cuts. I only buy steak once per month, for instance, and I usually have ground meat. This was my most-expensive monthly pantry stack. 😁

Everytime I've tried to save money by lowering the quality and/or nutrition-density, we all got constant attacks of the munchies. Even cheap meat leaves us all feeling hungry. I'd rather eat a good spelt sourdough, with lots of fresh butter on top, so that I don't feel like I'm starving while I eat.

the fats in beef there are special ones in quite high quantities that literally help make the chemicals that make you feel like you are full, cacao fat has some of it also but there is nothing like 500g of medium-lean beef mince to make you feel like you could easily not eat the whole next day

so the value of it is more than just the simple nutrients, it's also in how it affects your nervous system

Yeah, feels totally different. Beef is expensive here, but I refuse to give it up.

And there's no way I'm going to raise my kids on nothing but beans and rice. I love that stuff, but that's slave food, for good reason.

I cook it with ham, bacon, or fatback in it, so that do be good, tho. But still. Give the boy some meat! 😂
