One myth on this subject that persists in vegan discussions is that broccoli, for example, has as much protein as steak. This is often perpetuated by infographics comparing protein per calorie. Many are simply inaccurate, but even the correct statistics can be misleading when presented in this way. For example, one hundred calories of broccoli have eight grams of protein. That same number of calories of New York steak has 13.6g of protein.
