Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
what do you need protein for? your skin, hair, muscles and all your body parts benefit from good quality, healthy protein sources. here’s what high protein foods from the best protein sources can do for you:
- help you look better,
- build new muscle,
- maintain muscle,
- and lose fat.
this healthy high protein foods list puts all the best protein sources into ABC categories:
- the “A” high protein foods list contains only seafood and poultry. because of their high protein content compared to their low calorie count, poultry and fish are considered the best protein sources from natural foods.
- the “B” list of high protein foods contains dairy and legumes (beans, peas and lentils). dairy is also important for calcium. and beans, peas and lentils are your best protein sources from high fiber plant foods.
- even though whole grains and nuts are on the “C” list of high protein foods, they’re both loaded with fiber and nutrition. and when combined with legumes, the combination boosts your total healthy protein intake.
i couldn’t help myself. i love lists. i think that many people know these healthy protein sources. but it’s nice having it all laid out. and it is a very good reminder.
