Chick peas may have 14g of protein, but it also has 45g carbs and 4 g of fat to total 280ish calories. Now compare my protein at 90 calories and 20g of protein with barely any fat or carbs. So If i consumed that same amout of calories worth of protein powder, I'd have 60g or protein. Also, a chicken breast has virtually no fat/carbs and in about 300 calories worth is 50-60g/protein. So how do chick peas even compare? And about bread, 6g/protein per slice is pushing it. Most barely hit 4. So lets just go with 5g as an avg. Now tell me how many slices of bread you can shove down your throat before you get full. You'd be left with a large carb overload and barely any protein. Thats the same as your potatoes, which you think are packed with protein.
