    One would have to consider that all the legumes listed are not sources of complete protein and would need to be complemented with rice for example. The protein percentages per 100g is also fairly low in comparison, this means that it’s likely more carbohydrates.

    I’d argue that pork chops are the most optimal source of full protein along with the fat it offers.

    To get the same amount of protein and fat from tofu, the best vegan option, one would need to eat twice as much as one would eat chops.

    But I don’t see tofu listed on this graph.
