As a flexitarian, I've had to think quite a lot about how to get enough bioavailable protein while moderating my carb consumption and digestive upset due to beans, and to do so in a sustainable manner factoring in convenience and lack of leisure. I certainly won't recommend anything but lean meat and dairy as protein staples to people who aren't used to watching what they eat.
I also didn't do very well with most beans, but for some reason chickpeas don't bother me, if you haven't tried them.
Yep, I now have a lentil-based staple that also has grams, but that's of course after planning and adaptation.
