Please can someone give me a list of foods that are high in protein?

This list of high protein foods is designed to give you excellent health. It will help you choose the healthiest protein rich foods to look and feel your best.

You'll notice that although the fat count is included, there's no column for listing the saturated fat count. That's because the foods on the list of high protein foods below are ALL low in saturated fat.



For example, there's no red meat listed for a very good reason.

Red meat is usually high in saturated fat, which can lead to degenerative disease, and has also been shown to increase inflammation. This causes pain, suffering and numerous health problems. And who wants that?

You can also consume a high quality chemical free whey protein minus any fillers or additives. Whey protein is a rich source of branched chain amino acids (BCAAs), containing the highest known levels of any natural food source. BCAAs are important for athletes since unlike the other essential amino acids, they are metabolized directly into muscle tissue and are the first ones used during periods of exercise and resistance training. Whey protein provides the body with BCAAs to replenish depleted levels and start repairing and rebuilding lean muscle tissue.
