I think you misunderstood the protein concentration concerns. People are concerned about the ratio of calories from protein to calories from other macronutrients. In the case of beans like edamame, the concentration of fiber becomes relevant as well. In contrast, chicken breast is nearly entirely calories from protein and very low fiber. Replacing some chicken breast with soy makes sense, but your fiber budget would cap out quickly and that would leave no room for other fiber rich foods like fruits and leafy green vegetables. |

There is small amount of fiber in tofu, seitan, tempeh or other soy derivatives.
The "protein concentration" was mentioned together with iron, as if it is a problem of deficiency, not in the context of obsessive compulsive dieting by tweaking your macros to achieve the best results.
I am not sure the fiber budget you mention is a reality. There is no threshold where your body will stop behaving if you consume too much fiber.
