What foods have a good source of protein besides meat?

Answer 1

Fish, seafood of all kinds, eggs, dairy foods, soybeans and soy products.

Answer 2

The protein in an individual plant food is almost always incomplete, meaning it is low in one or more essential amino acids. However, by eating a variety of plant foods such as whole grains (brown rice, whole wheat, barley, rye, buckwheat, millet etc.), legumes (dried beans and peas), nuts, seeds and vegetables, you will be combining foods with different amino acids and getting ample, complete protein. Tofu, texturized vegetable protein, and tempeh are soy bean products that contain a concentrated amount of protein. They provide a good complement to other plant-based food, but are not essential to a vegetarian diet.

Some sources say that exact amounts of specific foods need to be combined and consumed at the same meal in order to have a complete protein, such as 1/2 cup kidney beans with 1 cup rice (based on amino acid contents). This is not true, but it is important to have a variety of different plant foods each day in total. A diet of only brown rice, or only tofu would not provide a vegetarian with sufficient amounts of complete protein. In general, vegetarians who are on the "bagel and pasta diet" tend not to get enough protein, since both foods are wheat-based, and their protein would be incomplete.

Answer 3

eggs are the best source of protein. they have 99% bioavailibity meaning your body can use 99% of the protein. cottage cheese,whey protein ( optimum nutrition ),fish,chicken (assuming u mean red meat). these are the best sources of complete protein ( containg all essential amino acids ). other foods can be combined to provide complete protein--- milk w/ whole grains ( cereal ) for example. its very hard to get all your amino acids w/o these sources.

Answer 4

if you want to get all 18 different amino acids into your system easily, cheaply and conveniently, the you should by a protein drink like the one on the website below. it is developed from whey
