gm, animal protein is just 0.01% better at building muscle mass than plant protein, according to a meta-analysis from 2021 for most people the source of protein doesn't matter for building and maintaining muscle mass https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7926405/

What plant proteins are highest density? I don’t really care about source, just find it easier to eat denser stuff to meet ideal protein intake

A cup of beans less than half the protein of a chicken breast (15g vs 38g, as per google) and so requires eating more volume — which is doable but harder

well, how many veggies are in the chicken then? taking into account that you also need to eat veggies, the density of veggies in chicken is small but no one eats just chicken density doesn't matter if you have well-balanced meals, because getting the same amount of protein per meal is not only doable, but easy

Not sure about the second part but the first part is fair

I’m very skeptical of this study as amino acid makeup of protein in vegetarian vs. eggs/whey/animal is monumentally different.
