Good Sources Of Protein

Good sources of protein are "complete". This means that they contain all of the "essential" amino acids necessary for the body to metabilize the protein and build muscle. Protein rich foods are meats, nuts, beans and dairy products. Animal protein is the most "complete" with fish and poultry being the lowest in saturated fat. Red meat and processed meats like bacon, sausage, and bologna are riddled with saturated fat making it a poor choice. Stick to lean cuts of meat and more plant-based protein for smarter choices.

High Protein Diet

Protein is low calorie and high density which "fills you up" a lot like high fiber foods. That's why the high protein diet is so popular for weight loss. By replacing carbs with protein the body burns the fat stores but unfortunately it burns your muscles too. You also skip the health benefits of fruits and vegetables like fiber, vitamins, and minerals. A healthier choice is a diet from good sources of protein like chicken, salmon, nuts, beans and legumes.

High Protein Smoothies are a great way to begin losing weight effortlessly. Just replace one meal a day with a high protein and fiber smoothie for a smart and filling meal. Mix in fresh fruits and vegetables for a vitamin packed smoothie ready in just a few minutes.

Protein bars are another way to conveniently supplement protein in your diet making it easy to replace unhealthy food choices with good choices of protein.
