26g of protein sure, but also 570 calories. Lean meats are hard to compete with, especially on a cut.

The person I was replying to didn't mention calories, so I didn't bring it up either. I was just trying to show that they were just talking out of their ass.

Extra-firm tofu competes with chicken breast for protein per calorie.
