OP isn’t wrong. 4 oz of a grilled chicken breast gives you 30 grams protein and 150 calories.

To get 30 grams protein from black beans you would need to eat 2 cups/500 calories worth.

I agree that beans and lentils are heathy, but OP didn’t say what their goal is. If it is weight loss, calories matter. If OP is trying to gain muscle while not gaining fat, calories and protein matter.

Nobody is getting fat from filling up on black beans.

Canned tuna, eggs, ground turkey or turkey breast cutlets

Quinoa 1 cup = 8 grams of protein and 5 grams of fiber. Look for some quinoa salad recipes that include any kind of bean to increase the protein.

Peanut butter in small amounts. I like to make deviled eggs.

OP do you eat bread or rice? Starch has far more calories per unit everything else than beans so.

If you are afraid of calories, cut starch and sugar and oil.

I put a scoop of collagen peptides in each of my two daily cups of coffee for a little extra protein boost.
