We don’t know about you, but sometimes it is hard for us to hit our protein goals.
Here are some good sources of protein for different diets.
For the vegetarians, plant protein sources are not complete, so they need a complementary protein to take in all the essential amino acids.
🫛Soy is a higher form of protein for plants ranging from 36-50g per 100g.
🍚🫘Rice and beans may be lower per 100g, but the two are complementary proteins, getting all the essential amino acids needed.
🥚🥛Obviously milk protein and eggs will have complete proteins because they are animal sources.
The omnivores have more options.
Animal proteins are complete, so fewer sources are needed to hit all the essential amino acids.
🐔Chicken breasts have 26g per 3oz serving.
🦌Venison has an incredibly similar protein content to the chicken breast.
🦑If we want to get really crazy, dried squid has approximately 60g of protein per 100g serving.
If you are having trouble hitting your protein goals, consider adding some of these sources to your daily intake and you may have an easier time.
