Legumes..

 


Good ol’ beans you might have been eating all along are actually boosting your protein content significantly. 
LiveStrong has a list of particular beans that are especially high in protein content.
Among those beans are soybeans (we already mentioned edamame in the green soy variety), but yellow soybeans also pack a healthy protein punch. 
Other high sources include navy beans (15.8-grams of protein per 1-cup serving), black beans (15.2-grams per 1-cup), and pinto beans (14-grams per 1-cup), says the source. Lentils are part of the legume family that beans are included in, and (uncooked) lentils have about 50-grams of protein per 1-cup, according to the USDA.
Legumes are fiber-rich plant-based foods that include beans, lentils, and peas.
Beans are a good source of fermentable fibers. This fiber moves into the large intestine and helps to feed the diverse colony of healthy bacteria in the gut.
Researchers have found connectionsTrusted SourceTrusted Source between a healthy gut microbiome and lower rates of obesity and type 2 diabetes.
