MODERATORS
Saw this somewhere else on Lemmy:
Probs worth comparing kJ energy too as raw mass isn't the whole picture. Like trying to get your rdi from peanuts will be interesting....
It is also worth some thoughts about complete protein combos and digestibility but unless you are literally trying to avoid starvation and accidentally just eat lentils and rice for all your meals you will be fine.
In general, unless you're a professional athlete a budget diet that meets your needs will look something like oat or baked bean breakfast (BBs you'll want some extra energy from bread or whatever), leftovers from last night for lunch, a dinner rotating through beans and lentils. Daal, curries, stews and so on. Random reasonal veg and some greens to get variety. Greens can be pricey, but if you have a garden or a patch of ground you know isn't poisoned warrigal greens grow like a weed, dandelion greens taste pretty nice, and so does milk thistle actually! just learn to ID them and never pick from roadside.
That's how I've avoided starvation while also eating well in the past.
I feel like kj would stray into an overly technical area. Cool, yeah, but probably not what people worry about.
A sat fat / cholesterol graph might be interesting as well.
Certainly interesting, but I feel like the X-axis needs to somehow account for all the valuable qualities of the food. If we're wanting to compare meats and meat alternatives, that means at least protein, iron, and energy, not just protein.
Eh iron isn't very meaningfull. Most beans and lentils and stuff are pretty rich in it. Anemia is usually caused by bleeding or iron malabsorption over diet. Stuff like eating cheese with meals inhibits iron absorption because of calcium amounts.
kJ are but mostly because meats and seeds are very fatty which for everyone not starving makes them even worse sources.
