High Protein Food (non dairy)

paul7g

Hi,

Can anyone recommend the above?

I’ve done quite a lot of Googling and very surprised at the mixed nutritional information I am finding for various foods.

i.e - one site suggests 100g of chicken has 24g of protein, while another states 41g of protein per 100g

I'd bet the first value was for raw chicken, the second was for cooked chicken breast.
It loses water when cooked so weighs less, with the same nutritional content

Seitan ~75g protein per 100g

Chicken, turkey and fish are the lowest calorie form of high protein intake.

High protein foods typically tend to be low fat animal foods such as lean meats, fish and poultry. It is fairly easy to meat our protein requirements if we are able to eat a usual portion of these (about the size of the palm of your hand) at least twice a day. An once (25g) of meat and chicken tends to provide approx 7g of protein. Each 40g portion of white fish would also provide approx 7g protein.

Eggs also provide a good quantity of protein (approx 7g per egg).

Non-animal foods that would be considered a good source of protein would be soya foods such as tofu, wheat gluten (eg: seitan), beans/lentils/nuts and meat alternatives such as the lower-fat Quorn products.

Be aware that for most healthy adults, a protein intake of 0.75g/kg body weight is recommended. The average diet usually far exceeds this amount!

Hope that helped guys!

Do you not mean that is the minimum recommended?

Hello
Here is a list with high protein foods for vegans:
Legumes as bean, lentils, chickpeas
Seeds
Nuts
Vegetables as brocolli, kale, potatoes, mushrooms
Whole grain pasta
Chorella, spirulina
Tofu, tempeh, endamame

Remember about the right supplementation if you decided to go vegan. There is a big possibility of defficience for some micronutrients especially in the start of your vegan journey.
Let me know if you need a knowledge about supplements.

The 24grams it is the right amount
