I eat a shit ton of chickpeas but honestly get yourself vegan protein powder. It's more expensive than whey but its manageable. Just eat whatever you want and suppliment your protein with a shake or something. Way nicer than eating high protein density foods all the time imo.

    . It's more expensive than whey

    This might shake out to nearly even when you correct for differences in amino acid score (pea: 0.893 vs whey: 1.0), but my organic pea protein powder is waaaaay cheaper (pun intended) than the same mass of whey protein (0.7 dollars per ounce of pea compared to 0.93 dollars per ounce of whey) and doesn't require the forced impregnation of a sentient being!

    My quick maths (please correct if I'm literally peaing bad arithmetic out my doodoo ass): peas get us 1.28 PDCAAS per dollar and whey gets us 1.08 PDCAAS per dollar.
