Cooked green or brown lentils — fiber-and-protein-dense legume.
Strong iron and folate source. Cheapest plant protein per gram. ~230 kcal per cup with 18g protein.
Best for
- training days and glycogen refill — 20g carbs / 100g
- budget meals where cheap energy density matters
Watch out
- portion creep — cooked volume looks bigger than the grams you meant
- sauces and oils that turn a carb staple into a hidden calorie sink
How to log it
Weigh cooked lentils (cooked) if that is the state in the DB serving. 1 cup cooked (~198g) is the practical unit in the app.
Where it fits the day
Best next to a protein source. Alone it is fuel, not a complete macro plan.
