10 Foods That Fulfils Your Daily Dose of Protein

Proteins are an extensive category of molecules that are involved in cell structure, immunological function, mobility, chemical reactions, hormone synthesis, and other functions. They are all composed of microscopic building pieces known as amino acids. These are essential, which means your body needs them but cannot produce them on its own, so you must obtain them through your food.

Protein is not only important for your health, but it can also keep you feeling full and content, which helps you maintain healthy body weight. The recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for protein is 0.36 grams (g) per pound of body weight (0.8 g per kilogram).

2. Almonds

Almonds can help your health in a variety of ways, including lowering heart disease risk factors such as high LDL (bad) cholesterol and high blood pressure. Almonds provide 6 g of protein per ounce (28.35 g). Source

Pistachios, which contain 5.73 g of protein per 1-ounce (28.35-g) dose, and cashews, which contain 4.34 g of protein per 1-ounce (28.35-g) dishes, are two more high-protein nuts.

Cottage cheese is a low-fat, high-protein cheese that is low in calories and fat. It’s high in calcium, phosphorus, selenium, vitamin B12, riboflavin (vitamin B2), and other minerals.

Cottage cheese has 28 g of protein per cup (226 g). Cheddar cheese, which has 3.96 g of protein per 17-g slice, and mozzarella, which contains 6.29 g of protein per 1 ounce (28.35 g), are two other high-protein cheeses.

Other protein-rich yogurt products include unsweetened low-fat yogurt, which contains 11.9 g of protein per 8-ounce (227-g) container, and kefir, which contains 9.21 g of protein per 1 cup (243 mL).

5. Lentils

Lentils are one of the richest sources of plant-based protein, making them a fantastic choice for vegetarians and vegans.

7. Quinoa

Quinoa is classified as a complete protein because it includes all nine essential amino acids that your body cannot make. It does, however, contain insufficient levels of certain amino acids, such as leucine. 1 cup (185 g) cooked quinoa has 8 g of protein. Source

9. Peanuts and peanut butter

A 1-ounce (28.35-g) serving of peanuts contains 7.31 g of protein, while a 2-tablespoon (32-g) amount of smooth peanut butter contains 7.2 g. 

10. Chicken breast

Getting adequate protein each day is essential for good health. Protein requirements differ from person to person. However, most active persons should ingest 0.54-0.9 g of protein per pound of body weight (1.2-2 g per kg) every day, according to experts. Fortunately, there are numerous high-protein foods available, including both animal and plant-based sources.
