Eating a diet rich in protein is key if you are looking to build muscle, or preserve muscle mass while losing fat (1). And who doesn’t want to achieve that, right?
That being said, what are the best sources of protein? And by best we mean, how can we get as much protein as possible, while minimizing our caloric intake?
Lean cuts of meat, poultry, fish and seafood are the best options. Vegetables and dairy products provide some protein, but not as much, so we’d have to eat larger quantities to obtain the same amount of protein, which leads to higher caloric intake and could be problematic when weight loss is desired.
Here’s a table containing how much protein some foods have, per 100g.
Hope this helps. Small changes in our daily habits can make a huge difference down the road. We are what we eat! Willian Alba
