9. Lentils will fill you with energy better than meat.

Lentils are a “superfood” – nutrient-dense and full of protein, fiber, and micronutrients. They can help you boost your nutrition and improve your health in a delicious way, plus they are budget-friendly.
Lentils come in a range of colors and sizes. Brown, green and red lentils are the most common, but lentils can also be black, orange and yellow.
They don’t require pre-soaking the way beans and other legumes do, so most types take only around 15 minutes to cook on the stovetop.
