Which would you prefer: #lentils vs. #groundbeef ?
They both, for the serving size selected, have similar calories and protein. But it’s important to differentiate few things about these:
Lentils:
?? Low fat
?? High fibre (feeds your gut microbiome)
?? Good amount of iron
?? Very cheap
?? Environmentally friendly
Beef:
?? High saturated fat and overall fat
?? High in cholesterol
?? No fibre
?? Heme iron (inflammatory)
?? L-carnitine which converts into TMAO (inflammatory)
?? Expensive
?? Huge environmental impact
I love lentils and they are a much healthier alternative to ground beef that can be used in variety of ways! They can be used in curries, buddha bowls, pasta, lasagna, soups, chilli, rice, and more! How do you like to eat lentils? ?
