The 11 Best Lean Protein Foods to Eat

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━  

1. Chicken Breast

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━   

Chicken breast that has been removed of its skin is extraordinarily low in calories and a very lean cut of meat.  

2. Protein Powder

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━   

Protein powders including whey, pea, and collagen peptides are great for protein intake. Low-fat protein powders are ideal for folks who desire leaner protein sources.  

3. Beans and Lentil

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━   

As a result of their naturally low fat content, beans and lentils are a good source of protein that comes from plants.  

4. Cottage Cheese

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━   

Cottage cheese is a dairy product that is high in protein and comes in different fat amounts. Cottage cheeses with less fat, like skim and reduced-fat, are low in fat but high in protein.  

5. Greek Yogurt

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━   

One such dairy product that is high in protein and may be purchased in a variety of fat percentages, including skim and 1%, is Greek yogurt.  

6. Fish and Shellfish

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━   

Fish and shellfish are one of the highest protein sources. Leaner fish and shellfish have fewer calories. The liver stores most of the fat in cod and flounder, while the meat stores it in salmon and tuna.  

7. Turkey Breast

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━   

Similar to chicken, turkey breast that has been removed from its skin is a good source of lean protein.  

8. Tofu

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━   

There is no need to look any further than tofu if you are searching for a plant-based diet that is abundant in protein.  

9. Lean Beef

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━   

We grade meat leanness. Each 100-gram serving of lean beef comprises less than 10 grams of fat, 4.5 grams of saturated fat, and 95 mg of cholesterol. Fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol per 100 grams of extra-lean beef are less than 5 grams, 2 grams, and 95 mg.  

10. Egg White

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━   

Healthy fats, protein, vitamins, and minerals can all be found in large amounts in whole eggs. Some people like egg whites better than whole eggs, though, because egg yolks are high in fat and cholesterol.  

11. Venison

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━   

Venison is considered to be one of the leanest game meats that can be consumed, despite the fact that it is not as popular as beef.
