Veggies aren’t a primary source of calories, when trying to reduce calorie intake and eating healthy. Veggies are there for other important reasons. You focus on beans, lentils, and other legums for calories. Meat doesn’t even come close to their value. Rice, while having it’s own problems, is also more calories per dollar by far.
Just addressing one part of this.

You should consider looking into the bioavailability of nutrients from meat vs legumes when factoring in value for money, also.
