Comparison Verdict
Lentils are the superior choice for muscle building and sustainable energy because they offer significantly more protein and fiber with fewer calories, keeping you full and nourished for longer. If your goal is high-calorie weight gain or you simply need a quick, energy-dense meal to fuel an intense workout, the fried rice serves as a better option, though it lacks the substantial protein content found in the lentils.
