Are beans the cheapest and healthiest source of protein or are there foods with more grams of protein by cost/calories?

I guess that depends on how much you're paying for your beans. Wholesale protein powder is at a comparable cost per gram of protein but generally beans are a good choice. I eat a half a can daily.

Yes. No.
Beans are
- cheapest per gram of protein and per calorie
- most nutritious
- tastiest
- healthiest (actually improve kidney function and prevent kidney stones, whereas animal protein does the opposite)

If you believe in the glycemic index meme (which is in fact a meme), beans are also low-GI.

Legumes should be consumed every single day, preferably multiple times,

I've never understood this perception.

Whey protein is cheap because there's excessive amounts of whey from commercial waste, but even still it's not magically cheaper than straight out milk/dairly

The law of economics prohibits this.

>If you believe in the glycemic index meme (which is in fact a meme), beans are also low-GI.
Useful info and cheers, but I want to flag your bullshit on GI- I'm Type 1 Diabetic and track my blood sugars in near real time and GI is a massive thing for us. Recently I saw mappings from non diabetics using the same device and their results are exactly the same albeit less pronounced.
tl;dr Thinking GI is a meme is retarded.

beans are the highest protein CARB SOURCE.

in terms of price and calorie:proten, chicken still beats it easily, unless you live in a cuckold area like canada or sweden.

>in terms of price and calorie:proten, chicken still beats it easily
No, what the fuck are you talking about. Good lean chicken breast comes in at around 32g/100g. Beans range in at up to 45g/100g and are far cheaper in terms of both calories and weight.

>soybeans
Good goy.

>Whey protein is cheap because there's excessive amounts of whey from commercial waste, but even still it's not magically cheaper than straight out milk/dairly

But the amount of whey consumed to reach, let's say, 30g of protein, costs less than the amount of milk required to meet the same protein, especially if you live in a country where the dairy industry exists under a supply management system.

It's very low on methionine though.

I feel pain just by thinking about Canada's milk prices. To avoid buying too much liquid milk due to expense, my mother often purchased powdered milk and mixed it with water.
