Often people said knowledge is power and it’s a sentiment that’s especially true when we’re talking about good nutrition. Take protein e.g. An essential nutrient, protein’s role in the growth and repair of all body tissues is known by 87% .



5 Best Protein Sources

Lean meat:

This is good news for the 56% of survey respondents who already identify as meat eaters who also eat vegetables. In other words, more than half of surveyed readers are already getting their protein from this top source. 


Fish :

Grilled fresh fish fillets are hard to beat – especially those delivering an Omega-3 boost at the same time, like salmon and sardines – but canned fish is a portable, affordable, ready-to-eat protein pack.

Eggs: 

Just step away from the fry pan, people. Poached, boiled and scrambled eggs are all nutritionally superior to anything with the word ‘fry’ in it.


Legumes:

The fantastic versatility and nutritional virtuosity of the humble legume is finally gaining mainstream notice. Lentils, chickpeas, split peas and baked beans are all winners.


Nuts:

Raw nuts are best, but tahini, almond butter and other nut or seed pastes all deliver protein. Just watch the serving size; fat content in nuts is high.
