What foods give you plenty of protein?

Answer 1

Meat!

Answer 2

It depends on what type of protein you are looking for.
Whey protein is digested easier and much more useful than soy protein. If you are working out, it is recommended to eat 1/2 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight. etc. 200lb man should have 100 grams per day to pack on muscle. It is VERY hard to eat this much protein without overloading on calories without a supplement. I would recommend MUSCLE MILK. It is very high in protein and tastes awesome.

Answer 3
