Which food contains high protein?
374740
All kinds of meats are an excellent source of protein, including chicken and turkey breast, pork, beef steak and ground beef, and other less common red meats such as buffalo. \n\nMany types of seafood also contain high levels of protein, including swordfish, haddock, orange roughy, tuna, and shellfish such as lobster, shrimp and crab. \n\nMost foods which are very high in protein are meat products, but there are many protein foods which are suitable for vegetarians, including dairy products such as cottage cheese, and other animal derived foods such as eggs. High protein plant based foods include whey and soy, which are readily available from health food stores in supplement form. \n\nCHICKEN – Chicken, the long time staple of a musclebuilding diet, contains approximately seven grams of protein per ounce and little fat in its boneless, skinless form. Because of this ideal nutritional profile, many bodybuilders include chicken daily as part of a musclebuilding diet. Chicken is one protein food that could use additional flavoring such as salsa, garlic, or seasoning salt to help spice it up if you plan on eating it on a consistent basis. Chicken is a great protein selection for any time of the day. \n  \nBEEF –Beef has a great musclebuilding profile supplying approximately seven grams of protein per ounce and ample amounts of iron, zinc, and vitamin B12 – all nutrients needed to support your immune system and help keep you healthy. Make sure to choose leaner cuts of meat, as adding extra calories from fatty pieces of meat isn't the best way of going about getting a muscular body. Include beef in your diet at least two to three times a week to ensure you have enough amino acids in your body to create an optimal musclebuilding environment\n\nFISH – Fish is one of the more functional protein sources due to its high amounts of essential fatty acids. Fish provides approximately seven grams of protein per ounce and is a very versatile food that can be prepared in numerous ways. If you're not a big fan of the aroma associated with fish, simply neutralize it by rubbing a lemon on the fish during cooking\n\nEGGS – When it comes to protein, eggs are near the top of the list, behind whey protein. To get the most benefit from the eggs in your diet, choose eggs that are omega-3 rich. Omega-3 acids (or linolenic acids) may increase the effectiveness of your immune system, helping you recover faster from your workouts. If you're trying to limit your fat intake, look for pasteurized egg-white cartons (which look similar to milk cartons) at your local grocery store. Low in fat and cholesterol, these are perfect for making egg-white omelets. One egg white carton contains approximately 22 grams of protein per 8 oz., making it a great choice for any time of the day. If you're a busy bodybuilder on the go, try hard boiling a dozen eggs and pack them in your cooler bag for protein convenience. \n\nDAIRY PRODUCTS – Protein foods like skim milk and low-fat cottage cheese fall in this category. Any of these dairy products would be a great fit in your musclebuilding diet. With every serving, you can expect to receive between 150 mg and 350 mg of calcium. Calcium is a vital mineral that helps form strong bones and plays a significant role in muscle contractions. Milk is an inexpensive, high-quality source of protein. The protein found in milk is composed of approximately 80 percent casein and 20 percent whey, which results in milk's high biological value, and digestibility.

There are several foods that can be eaten that contain a very high nutritive value and provide ample protein. Spirulina, a cyanobacteria, is very good as are chlorella, barley grass, wheat grass, and other plant sources. Wheat Roast, which is marinated, cooked gluten is a very tasty substitute for the soy products, while the "supergreens" are used as supplements. Before using these herbs, algaes, and the likes...CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN!, and inquire about possible inter actions with medication, allergies, etc. Whole Foods market carries many alternative protein sources and their employees are extremely knowledgeable, and aim to help out as much as possible with your diet, but keep in mind that, while being knowledgeable, THY ARE NOT M.D.'s! If you have specific allergies or require a speecial diet because of a medical condition, I would advise you to seek the help of a ADA Registered Dietitian.

there is alot of protein in chicken.. a piece like that has about 18-25 grams.  To get extra protein try egg whites, nuts, and tofu..they all have alot of protein and are good for you.

Foods high in protein do spoil. Moisture is not your friend. The best thing to presevere the protein is to smoke, or dry the food. Think beef jerkey. This is meat that has been smoked or dried to be well preserved. Beans are high in protein and when dry store for a long time as well.\n\nFreezing allows sotrage for a few months but drying is a better means, but less appetizing.

Protein, and plenty of it. The best source would be chicken, fish, tuna, eggs or protein shakes.

Use vegtable broth and meat substitutes instead. There are some out there that actually have the texture and taste like meat. Or you could always use tofu, which is high in protein.

The type of protein you eat may play a role in successful weight loss and in your overall health. \n\nConsumption of large quantities of processed meats such as hot dogs, sausages, and deli meats, have been linked to increased risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and colorectal cancer, Hu says. You'll have a harder time maintaining weight loss if you eat these proteins often, and you may be damaging your body. \n\n\nHu and other nutrition experts recommend getting dietary proteins from the following sources: \n\nFish: Fish offers heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids and, in general, less fat than meat. \n\nPoultry: You can eliminate most of the saturated fat by removing the skin. \n\nBeans: Beans contain more protein than any other vegetable protein. Plus, they're loaded with fiber that helps you feel full for hours. \n\nNuts: One ounce of almonds gives you 6 grams of protein, nearly as much protein as one ounce of broiled ribeye steak. \n\nWhole grains: A slice of whole wheat bread gives you 3 grams of protein, plus valuable fiber. \n\n\n"A lot of plant-based foods like soy and legumes can give you the same amount of protein as meats. I have nuts for breakfast every day, because they not only give you a lot of protein, but they're healthy sources of fat," Hu says. \n\nSo when you decide to cut carbs and boost protein, take Hu's advice: Don't lose sight of the big picture. \n\nPublished March 31, 2004.

A high protein intake will help with building muscles, along with exercise of course. you don't need any special "diet plan". Just concentrate on lean red meats,\nand chicken. You can also get a lot of protein from eggs,\nmilk, nuts, and there are a lot of beans that are high in\nprotein, too. Cut way down on fried stuff, breads, pastas,\nrice, potatoes and just about anything that has flour in it. Within\n2 to 3 weeks, you will be noticing a big difference. Be sure to get your fruits and vegetables, and a good vitamin

I studied this question myself for the same reason.\nThat is , triglycerides and cholesterol. The challenge is\nto replace meat with veggys that are high in protein.\nThe problem is that protein is made up of 9 critical\namino acids. The absence of any 1 or more, weakens the\neffectiveness of the protein. Meat , or more accurately,\nanimal source, has a complete set of amino acids. Veggys\nare absent a few, but not absent the same ones. By\ncombining certain high protein veggies, each vegetable's\namino acid content compliments the lack in the other. \n Vegetables can be grouped into 1 of 3 types in this regard.\n1) The legumes:  beans, peas, lentils, peanuts\n   (Note : peanuts are not a true nut, they are legumes,\nmore closely related to beans)\n\n2) The grains, seeds and nuts: Wheat(and flour,pasta,bread),\nbarley, oats, sunflower seeds, almonds, walnuts, pecans,\nhazel nuts(all nuts)\n\n3) Special category: Rice and corn\n\nNow the trick is to combine at least 1 item each from\nat least 2 groups. For example, bread and peanut butter\nmake up a complete protein since bread is from group 1)\nand peanut butter is from group 2). Other good and well known combinations are rice & beans, corn and beans,\nmixed nuts with peanuts. Also, if you don't need to be a\npure vegetarian about it, mix a little animal source with\nany 1 group and it completes the protein. A lot of beans with a little bit of ground beef, keeps the triglycerides\nlow and stretches the beef. Another hint is that the\ncholesterol in eggs comes from the yolk. The white is\nalmost pure protein, void of cholesterol and triglycerides\nand it completes the protein of the veggys.

These are all good sources of protein:\n• Skim milk \n• Supplemental beverages \n• Fortified milk \n• Low-fat creamed soup \n• Low-fat yogurt \n• Low-fat cottage cheese \n• Scrambled eggs \n• Egg salad made with low-fat mayonnaise \n• Fat free refried beans\n\n-unless you are vegan, then you are pretty much stuck with beans

That first answer is on the right track, but certain foods (protein, primarily) is very metabolically costly. That is, proteins are more dificult for th body to break down, and thus more calories burned simply in the process of metabolizing the proteins.\n\nHow MUCH is it increased? On a very high protein diet (say, up to 1.5g/pound of bodyweight, which is lower than most bodybuilders but far above the average person), you might be able to get a 10-20% increase just on food content. But that's just a guestimate. I read a study on this a while ago, but don't recall the exact nuimbers. \n\nBottom line, the impact was present, but not startling.And the lack of preservatives would likely have no impact at all. It's healthier, but not because your metabolism is affected.\n\nMore importantly, when going to a "90-100% organic, balanced healthy diet", you're almost certainly going to increase your micronutrient intake drastically, which is a hugely good thing. The nutrient density of the foods you choose will be excellent, and you're almost certainly lower your total caloric intake in the process.\n\nJust off the top of my head.
