Yes, but as the below graphic illustrates, you would need to eat A LOT of them – every day! The point is, as long as you eat enough calories, you’ll also be eating enough protein. I suggest including the more calorie-dense legumes, whole grains, nuts, and seeds into your daily routine. Doing so is a delicious, varied, and efficient way to consume not only the calories and protein required, but also all of the other macronutrients, micronutrients, and phytonutrients.
