Top Ten Protein Sources

So we all know protein is important, as it builds, maintains, and repairs muscle tissue. However, where do we get it from? What are the best sources of protein? When considering protein, it's important to try to ingest proteins that are considered "complete proteins" meaning they have all the essential amino acids, and in good ratios. Here are some protein sources that I feel will yield the best benefit: 1) Egg Whites- excellent source of complete protein, low carb, low fat, great source 2) Chicken breast- make sure to grill it, and be careful what you dress it with. 3) Fish- great source of protein and omega 3's. 4) Whey protein- great biological value, and easy to mix. 5) Nuts- good source of protein, and good fats. 6) Turkey- a good, lean, source. 7) Milk- go with the skim. 8) Yogurt- good source of calcium and protein. 9) Protein bars- can be filled with junk and sugar, but some have their place. 10)Steak- go with the sirloin. Hope this help, let me know what you think!
