We all know chicken and eggs are the first food that comes to our mind when we speak of Protein. You will have to give thought when you have to think otherwise.
Whether you are vegan, paleo or counting macros, everybody needs protein. Proteins are one of the most important elements in your macros. They help you to build muscles and repair them.
Here are four sources of high-protein foods to help you increase your protein intake in your diet.
Peanut Butter
Peanut Butter is a nutrient rich whole food that can be a fantastic addition to a muscle building diet. They also have high levels of amino acid leucine. To start the day off right, try adding peanut butter to a protein drink in the morning. You can also have Rice Cake with Peanut Butter or a Peanut Butter Pudding to satisfy your midday cravings.
Quinoa
Quinoa is one of the few plant foods with a high concentration of essential nutrients, such as proteins and amino acids. It is one of the most readily available vegan foods, devoid of gluten, and high in protein. A cup (185 grams) of cooked quinoa has roughly 40 grams of carbohydrates, 8 grams of protein, 5 grams of fibre, and substantial levels of magnesium and phosphorus.
Yogurt
Yogurt is an absolute favourite for fitness enthusiasts. It is one of the easily available protein rich foods you can add in your diet. It is also high in calcium, magnesium and other vitamins. The best way to consume yogurt is without sugar or toppings. You can also try Greek Yogurt which contains double the amount of protein as regular yogurt.
Oats
For vegetarians, oats are one of the healthiest protein-rich foods. Overnight oats are a terrific alternative for an easy protein rich diet because they are so adaptable and versatile. As a matter of fact, Overnight Oats are experiencing a boom right now. You can find many meals with overnight oats that help you boost your protein intake.
