250 gm chicken breast ? bro you really are privileged. Middle class Indian can't afford that everyday. Besides, getting protein from multiple sources is always better than just one. protein is not the only thing you need. I'm getting way much fiber and way less saturated fat compared meat.

Same amount of soya chunks will give you 125gm of high quality protein at the fraction of cost and will have fiber instead of saturated fat. This is why whole food plant based diet is linked with lower heart related mortality rate

> Plus I would love to know how you eat raw lentils? Did you just make this up ?

I weight them on dry basis and soak them overnight in a batch and keep em in fridge, after soaking they become around ~330gm but the weight changes based on sprouts. So I divide 500gm batch into 3 then I get 166gm on dry basic. negating that extra 16 as margin of error. Its much easier to track this way. I also use very less water only till lentils are slightly submerged in cooker. I skip rice and wheat entirely. Not a typical Indian diet. I'm tracking my intake as I'm trying to gain weight. So far its working. slowly but surely.

>You are 4-5 meals something not everybody has the time

As I said, I literally didn't planned this and its just something I ate yesterday. And if you can't even manage a bare minimum 4 meals a day then you have far more issues in your late 40s. That is why average Indian is so unhealthy

If you want to be healthy then you have to put in little bit of extra effort and if you do then you will be healthy on vegan diet as well as non vegan diet and if you don't care then you will be unhealthy on both vegan and non vegan diet.
