Tofu in its various forms, including silk tofu as egg replacement in pancakes,
Other “meat substitutes” like seitan or sunflower seed mince,
Nuts, nut butters, nut flour,
Dairy products such as cottage cheese, joghurt,
Soy milk
I mean for real, eggs are super unnecessary for a protein rich or healthy diet. I would argue that unless you literally want to treat yourself with a sunny side up or an omelette you shouldn’t be using eggs at all. I like eggs, but a dozen lasts us (family of 3) a month easily.
Seitan is also very high in protein, containing 75g of protein per 100g compared to 13g per 100g for scrambled eggs (although its low on lysine, so it should be balanced out with other protein sources).
Ignore the legumes suggestion, it’s nasty af and makes most people’s stomachs bloated and inflammed (which gives gas and is the reason there are so many jokes on legumes giving people gas). Eat fish, nuts, artisanal cheeses (very low lactose compared to other cheeses) or even just homemade jerky. Good for the brain and no bloating unless you have some diagnosed gut diseases.
For those who can’t be bothered to read my replies, proof of legumes irritating the stomach of many people, causing bloating, causing gas and even pain:
Stay educated. You don’t HAVE to eat legumes, you can get fiber and essential nutrients in many other foods which is why I recommended other healthy foods, which don’t cause physical discomfort or pain.

You never eat vegetables, do you? Much of the world lives off legumes. Having these issues with their digestion is caused by a poor gut microbiome from eating an extremely low-fiber diet.
I do eat vegetables, simply not legumes as they give me gas and bloating (and I’m not the only one it happens to, it’s so common, there’s a reason comedians joke about eating them and farting). Can we stop pretending legumes don’t cause gas and bloating? 😂 As if me pointing it out means I don’t eat veggies, gtfo here.
"Fiber makes you bloat
Beans are just one example of high fiber foods. When you eat a ton of fiber, you increase your chances of bloating, stomach pain and gas."
It’s not even hard to find this out. Btw it’s beans AND legumes in general that do this (the article mentions it and this is not the only source that says this). Happy reading.

The average American eats a dearth of fibrous vegetables.
The article you quote literally says what I said, so I’m not sure what you’re getting at. Your quote even points out that beans are not the only fibrous vegetable that causes gas when you don’t regularly eat enough fiber (brocolli is another non-legume example). If you kept reading, you would see:
Fiber is particularly difficult to digest compared to some other foods. If you suddenly start eating 1 cup of beans per day, that’s a big increase, and it may take some time for your body to get used to your new fiber intake. But as you continue to consume legumes regularly, your gas levels will eventually return to normal.

Yes, beans are legumes, that’s why we’ve been using the word legume this whole thread
Proteins are formed from amino acids and it is actually harder for you to assimilate when ingested as already assembled animal proteins as it needs to be broken down and rebuilt by your body. You can get all the aminos you need from vegetable sources such as potatoes, nuts, legumes, leafy greens etc.
What do you suggest as an easy healthy source of protein?
Billionaires.
Legumes like beans, lentils, peas, hummus, chickpeas,
Oats, quinoa, amaranth, buckwheat, whole wheat products,
Tofu in its various forms, including silk tofu as egg replacement in pancakes,
Other “meat substitutes” like seitan or sunflower seed mince,
Nuts, nut butters, nut flour,
Dairy products such as cottage cheese, joghurt,

No I mean so I can fry it and get fat.
Trust me, you can fry all those things and get fat.

I like to airfry beans and eat them as a crunchy snack.
For breakfast specifically, oatmeal isn’t a bad choice.
What kind(s) of beans? That sounds tasty!
