this isn’t a helpful comparison because the animal sources have a lot more water weight. a better comparison is either nutrient density by dry weight or by calories

Something is off. A simple Google search of 1kg of almonds vs 1kg of chicken breast protein content will tell you that there’s almost 50% more in the latter (210g vs 310g). Top sirloin should be 270g and pork chops 240-260g (depending on source).

No love for lentils? They have the highest protein.

Weird you didn’t include calories hemp seeds look great until you realise they are as calorie dense as chocolate.
Edit: also your comparing uncooked foods. Once you cook these you lose about half for things like beans whilst close to a 1/3 for meat.

Aren’t animal sources of protein a lot more bioavailable?
