List of high protein foods

Our chart (see below) for high protein foods shows a list of good quality protein sources. The protein content from each food is shown for an average serving.

Eating a little high protein food at each meal helps reduce the appetite, plus the body uses energy to convert protein to carbohydrates; a process known as Gluconeogenesis.

If too much protein is consume regularly, then it can be converted to fat (indirectly) and stored, the same as carbohydrates can be converted for fat storage. However, protein contains Nitrogen, an important chemical essential for the production of antibodies, so the body prefers to hold onto this Nitrogen. Thus, protein is more likely to be converted to carbohydrates rather than fat. These complex chemical reactions use up extra energy and help us burn more calories at rest!

Although, it is NOT wise to assume that consistently eating a high protein diet would necessarily be better for burning off even more calories at rest. A diet should always have a good balance of all essential macro, and micronutrients for good health!

Dieters often hit a weight loss plateau because of a lowered metabolism. Increase Your Metabolism before cutting calories, then very low-calorie or high protein diets should NOT be necessary!

Notice that the above list of high protein foods are mostly sourced from animal origin. These tend to be better sources for high protein quality. Foods of plant origin tend to have a lower biological value when compared to animal protein sources. However, it's possible to combine different plant sources to gain a complete protein source.

The amount of fat contained in each food has not been listed because it will vary depending on the type of product purchased, as well as how the product is prepared or cooked. For example, buying the leanest cuts of meat will have a low fat content, but frying the same product in oil will increase the fat content after cooking!

Be aware that most processed meat sources, or meat products, contain high amounts of sodium in the form of salt. This is mainly used for preservation and to enhance taste. High levels of salt in the diet is not recommended as too much may cause water retention, as well as contributing partly to gains in weight. You should also be aware that some meat products contain high levels of fats, protein and carbohydrates, which often results in an increased caloric intake per portion. Maybe some dieters should try to reduce consumption of animal products when trying to lose weight.
