You can get the low fat kind,and it's low carb since it looks like you're cutting

Calories from peanuts/peanut butter come from about 15% protein,15% carbs and 70% from fats.
Not a great option

Probably pork or chicken. The lectins in beans (eg chickpeas) render the protein less bioavailable and harder on the digestive tract, despite them being relatively cheap.
That's why you soak them in water for several hours and then boil them while cooking.
Don't worry about bioavailablity.

It helps, and should be standard procedure in preparing beans. Ideally you pressure cook them also. Either way, it depends on the person. I used to mix some garbanzos, great northern beans, chop some carrots, fresh oregano, parsley, some spices, maybe some green beans, maybe throw some ground turkey in. Meh. For me just plain pork or grass fed beef seems to work best.

Sound delicious.
Still if it's "bang for your buck" we're talking animal protein will always be more expansive.
