Ways To Get Protein Without Eating Meat
We all love some form of meat, whether it's a delicious cheeseburger or steak or a pepperoni pizza or fried chicken. While meats are good sources of protein, many are also bad for us, especially red meat.
Here are a few non - meat sources of protein. Click here for the full list.
Salmon
Salmon contains as much protein as steak per ounce. Go with wild salmon, which contains heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids but not as much sat fats as farm - raised.
Greek Yogurt
Just one cup of nonfat Greek yogurt contains 20 grams of protein. Get the plain kind to avoid sugar and add fresh or frozen berries, honey, or nuts.
Eggs
Just one egg provides 75 calories and 7 grams of protein. Eggs also give you other nutrients great for brain, eye, and bone health.
Bean Burrito
Beans are a great source of fiber as well as protein. A bean burrito with brown rice offers all the essential amino acids a steak does and contains 20 grams or more of protein.
