Protein can help you shed those unwanted pounds and keep your belly
full. But it's important to eat the right amount and the right kind of
protein to get the health benefits.
Fish & Seafood
Seafood is one of the best sources of protein because it's usually
low in fat. Fish such as salmon is a little higher in fat but it is
the heart-healthy kind: omega-3 fatty acids.
White-Meat Poultry
Stick to the white meat of poultry for excellent, lean protein. Dark
meat is higher in fat. The skin is loaded with saturated fat, so
remove skin before cooking.
Milk, Cheese Yogurt
Not only are dairy foods excellent sources of protein but they also
contain valuable calcium. Choose skim or low fat dairy to keep bones
and teeth strong, prevent osteoporosis and enhance weight loss.
Eggs
Eggs are one of the least expensive forms of protein. The American
Heart Association says normal healthy adults can safely enjoy an egg a
day.
Beans
One-half cup of beans contains as much protein as 3 ounces of broiled
steak. Plus, these nutritious nuggets are loaded with fiber to keep
you feeling full for hours.
Pork Tenderloin
This great and versatile white meat is 31% leaner than 20 years ago.
Soy
Twenty five grams of soy protein daily can help lower cholesterol and
reduce the risk of heart disease. Combine soy protein foods like tofu
with a healthy low fat diet.
Lean Beef
Lean beef has only one more gram of saturated fat than a skinless
chicken breast. Lean beef is also an excellent source of zinc, iron
and vitamin B12.
Protein on the Go
Grab a meal replacement drink, cereal bar or energy bar. Check the
label to be sure the product contains at least 6 grams of protein, and
is low in sugar and fat.
