Protein can also help you make better food choices. Eating protein at each meal helps you feel fuller longer, which means that you won't reach for high-fat or high-sugar foods throughout the day because you're feeling hungry!The best types of protein you can consume are (rated from leanest and lowest calories):
- Seafood (Clams, muscles, oysters, shrimp, crab, lobster)
- Fish
- Chicken
- Turkey
- Eggs
- Lamb
- Pork
- Beef
where on this list do vegetarian options lay? like soy, tofu or beans, etc? At the end I assume?
ReplyDeleteWhat are you a Vegetarian now Joel? I don’t actually believe in being a vegetarian. Human beings are by nature, biologically wired to be omnivores - Eating both meats, eggs, nuts, fruits, and vegetables. Animal protein is an extremely important building block in our dietary needs. And honestly without it, we cannot perform to our optimal range. If you don’t believe me, read this article:

BUT with that said, I know that people make choices in their daily diet. So alternate protein sources are:
- Chickpeas
- Lentils
- Beans
*All are low fat, high protein/fiber legumes. But also come with a lot of starch carbohydrates.
