Reminds me, I found and bought some 100% lentil pasta that I am gonna try. Has the same macros as lentils. Can't imagine eating real lentils. If it isn't lentil soup, they are gross as fk.
You should just buy that.

Not a full protein, lacking key aminos and the fiber further reduces bioavailability. You can survive on it as poverty-cell but not useful for gaining muscle.

I have had some side dishes with lentils that are pretty god but wouldn’t want it as a main dish. As another poster mentioned, you eat enough of them and its explosive diarrhea time the next day

lentils are extremely mild. you can literally just boil them and eat them like a soup.
if you have bowel problems from lentils you should go to the doctor and get it checked out. seriously

Legumes are amazing and so nutrient dense. Especially during cuts, I make sure to get 1 legume meal in daily. This is usually a mixed bean chilli or some kind of chick pea or lentil stew with a middle eastern flare.

This. Aside from the taste being meh they aren't the greatest choice for nutrition.

Can't imagine being so poor I had to resort to eating beans regularly.

It's basically 3rd world prison food. A small step above a loaf of bread or a cup of rice every day. You can have legumes in your diet, but not as the main protein source.

I have started eating a lot of lentils. They are tasty and super cheap.

I add them to ground beef for tacos. i add a bunch of stuff like veggies and such to them and they are really good.

do about a 50/50 mix of meat to lentils for tacos which I eat daily for lunch. Stretches the meat out.

Lentil soup is pretty good.































When you add meat to it.

not sure why people here feel so threatened by lentils. mixing lentils into your diet doesn't mean you can't eat meat.
they're simply a potent combination of super nutritious and super cheap.

and the incomplete amino acid is nonsense, as if anyone is exclusively eating lentils and nothing else. mixing in hemp seeds at the end is a great way to get a complete protein by the way, as they are high in methionine. adds a nice nuttiness to it as well.

for a guy who doesn't care to cook, lentils are incredibly easy to make too. you literally boil them and add salt. at the end mix in your choice of fat (butter, coconut oil, olive oil) and sprinkle hemp seeds. you'll be hard pressed to find a better combo of easy cooking/cheap/incredibly healthy.
