Choosing the best protein-rich food is easy as long as you know what you're looking for. One food source is not made up of purely protein, we need to understand what it comes with to know if it will fit the diet we chose or more importantly, the diet that is best for us.
When we say protein we immediately think red meat and fish. A 6-ounce grilled porter house steak, for example, contains about 38grams of protein, but it also has 44grams of fat. 16grams of which is unsaturated. Red meat also has cholesterol, vitamin a, riboflavin, beta-carotene, potassium, calcium, iron, zinc and the list goes on. Beans, nuts and wheat are also high in protein but it also has healthy fiber content and vitamins. We need all of these but how much depends on our diet.
