Results:
High protein proteins vary widely in protein, fat and calorie content per serving. Some of the best protein foods have high levels of fat; However, it is important to note that not all fats are bad for you, and some can be very beneficial to your diet - even if weight loss is a top priority. Almonds, for example, are rich in omega-3s but low in saturated fats.
If you are looking for an efficient way to increase your protein intake but keep your calorie and fat intake to a minimum, then fish and lean meat are an effective option. Canned tuna (keep the mayo) tops the list as the most efficient protein source. Skinless chicken breast, deli turkey, turkey, and lean ground beef are also highly efficient protein rich foods.
