Holy shit, how are falafela so delicious? There's really

Theyre magically delicious but not a replacement for meat.

Falafels are great, but whoever decided they're a meat substitute needs to be slapped in the clit. They provide a lot of fat and carbs and a tiny amount of protein. And before you start shrieking about muh keto, macronutrients are macronutrients, that but the idea that you can just sub them out in any meat based dish is 1970s Moosewood Cookbook tier retardation, and nutritional ''''advice'''' along those lines is why so many people suck at cutting back on meat intake. If you're shooting for a similar macro ratio as a balanced diet that includes meat, you need to stop thinking of stuff as being a "meat substitute" just because it's fried, or brown, or whatever, and you need to overhaul your entire approach to meal design

OP you are correct on both counts.
