It's an interesting graph but doesn't adjust for protein bioavailability
I came to say the same thing
What about zee bugs?
Mushrooms can be cheap depending on where you live.
Makes me think that if you wanted to eliminate an affordable source of protein, afflicting folks with peanut allergies isn't a bad idea.
It'd be interesting to do a longevity study based on main source of protein over a lifetime
Legumes making a strong showing if you're on a budget
Neat chart but “protein density” is a somewhat misleading metric. The protein in a ribeye has magnitudes more amino acid content than an equal amount of pea protein gram for gram, for instance.
Proteins are just chained amino acids, so what you're saying doesn't make any sense at all.
There are of course also differences in fatty acids, minerals and vitamins content
Neato. Now plot Omega3:6 ratio. Beef starts looking a lot better on that chart, I bet.
Legumes being that high blows my mind. Always thought of them, with peanuts being an exception, as being over starchy.
It seems like bone mass alone is not enough to explain the difference in protein density between a chicken drumstick, chicken wing, and chicken breast.
neat visual. needs chicken thigh - phenomenal bang for the buck plus flavor.
