What foods are high in protein?

What foods are high in protein?

Protein is an important nutrient found in foods, which is essential for children’s muscles and bones as they grow, but also to keep adults’ muscles and bones healthy throughout life.

Making sure we get enough protein into our diets is vital, as it has the ability to build, repair, oxygenate, digest, and regulate - making it super important for overall health. Did you know, your hair and nails are comprised almost completely of protein?

Protein rich foods include: - Fish - Skinless, white-meat poultry - Lean beef - Skimmed or low-fat milk - Yoghurt - Cheese - Eggs - Legumes - Tree nuts - Guava

You should consider all of the above foods and more when looking to eat a high protein diet. According to Mayo Clinic Health System, anywhere from 10% to 35% of your calories should come from protein. Luckily for you, eating a high protein diet has never been easier, with HelloFresh’s flexible recipe delivery service.

Tips on getting more protein into your diet

Tips on getting more protein into your diet

It is a common misconception that high protein meals must contain some sort of meat. There are many ways vegetarians and vegans can up their protein intake with ease. In fact, we have lots of high protein vegetarian meals to inspire you! So, whether you’re a meat-eater, vegetarian or vegan, adding more protein to your meals doesn’t have to be a challenge. Follow our simple tips and make high protein meals a way of life.

How to get more protein into your diet:

  • Have a protein shake for breakfast
  • Choose high protein snacks, such as cheeses or almonds
  • Replace cereal or toast with eggs for a high protein breakfast
  • Add almonds to meals: Almonds contain 6g of protein per 28g serving, which makes them a better source of protein than most other nuts
  • Choose a high protein meal provider, such as HelloFresh, to ensure high protein ingredients and recipes are there in your kitchen when you need them
