Neat! I’d like to see a 2d chart with price per 100g protein versus % protein by weight.
Split peas would still reign, but would divide the breads and legumes.

The one factor this video is missing is the volume of food required to be consumed to get your 200g of protein. You are not likely to consume 2KG of yogurt to get your daily 200g of protein.

Watch me.

No seriously, I eat 500g of low fat plain yoghurt with whey protein powder a day and might be upping that even. Tastes good, is filling, low calories and high in protein.

But you also don't need 200g of protein unless you're already quite the unit. Around 150 will do and is probably even more than necessary for most beginner to intermediate lifters.

Oh I meant % protein by net weight, not by calorie. It would be similar, I’m sure, but like getting 200g of protein from red lentils requires <900g of lentils, but 200g of protein from sliced bread would require eating nearly a kilo and a half of bread.
