Foods with high protein content:
1. Meats: including beef, pork, lamb, chicken, duck, and other poultry and livestock meats, as well as seafood such as fish and shrimp. These meats are not only high in protein content, but also have amino acid compositions close to what the human body requires, making them easily digestible and absorbable.
2. Dairy and eggs: milk, yogurt, goat's milk and their dairy products, as well as eggs such as chicken eggs, duck eggs, and quail eggs are all important sources of high-quality protein. These foods are not only rich in protein, but also contain various vitamins and minerals.
3. Legumes and legume products: legumes such as soybeans, red beans, mung beans, and legume products like tofu, soy milk, and bean curd skin are all rich in plant protein. These legumes and their products have high nutritional value and are easily absorbed and utilized by the human body.
4. Nuts: nut foods such as peanuts, walnuts, almonds, and cashews also contain abundant protein. In addition, nuts are rich in nutrients beneficial to human health, such as unsaturated fatty acids, minerals, and vitamins.
It is important to maintain an appropriate intake of high-protein foods in the diet and to ensure balanced nutrition by combining them with other nutrients.
