Protein is relatively calorie dense but without bad “reputation”. Here are some lesser known facts, based on https://www.webmd.com/fitness-exercise/guide/good-protein-sources
- egg white — one of the least expensive proteins.
- poultry is usually more lean than dark meat, esp. with skin removed.
- seafood is more healthy than white/dark meats. Even the fats are healthy fats.
I want to try high-protein foods and see if they offer a good satiation/calorie ratio. I feel to reduce my BMI, I have to eat a lot of fruits/raw veg, and reduce everything else including protein.
Most high-protein foods have a lot of fat or starch :(. Here are some rare exceptions
- whey
- low-fat milk? can mix with other drinks
- tuna in water
- turkey without skin
- lean ham at 50 cal/56g
