Legumes

[Megfish21]

Are lentils and legumes et al. (beans, pulses, chickpeas etc) good for eating

since i'm broke ahh and they are cheap and quite easy to prepare + consume.
heard they are quite healthy as well

are the fibre in legumes an issue?

Yes they are good, no the fibre is not an issue unless you ramp up your dietary fibre too quickly.

They aren’t that great for protein however because when you cook them they retain water so for example chickpeas are ~20grams protein per 100g but are ~10 grams per 100g after cooking.

+ Plant protein usually isn't as effective if you want mass

@Megfish21
Correct they have relatively lower bioavailability due to the fact that a certain percentage of amino acids are bound up in insoluble fibre.

Legume protein sources usually are around 70-80% after cooking. Meat sources tend to be 90%+.

Not a huge issue unless they become the predominant protein source, in that case you will need to eat more total protein to make up for the difference in bioavailability.
