On a per calorie basis, spinach has 2.5 times the amount of protein vs. lean beef. Spinach is 52% protein and lean beef is 51%.

Not picking on you at all Barefoot, but unfortunately there's a lot of myth and misinformation out there implying that protein can only be derived from animal sources. There's an abundance of plant-based sources of protein which will ideally fuel the human body without any of the negatives (cancer, heart disease, etc...) associated with animal-based sources.
