Dr. Shen Yonghua
Protein-rich foods:
1. Meats: such as beef, lamb, pork, chicken, and duck. These meat products are rich in protein, particularly high-quality protein, which is easily absorbed and utilized by the human body.
2. Fish and seafood: Seafood such as salmon, tuna, shrimp, crab, and shellfish are not only high in protein content, but also rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for heart health.
3. Eggs: One large egg provides about 6 grams of protein, and also contains abundant vitamin D and B12.
4. Dairy products: Milk, yogurt, cheese, and Greek yogurt are all good sources of protein, while also providing calcium and vitamin D.
5. Legumes and soy products: Black beans, red beans, mung beans, soybeans, as well as tofu and soy milk, are not only high in protein, but also rich in fiber and various minerals.
6. Nuts and seeds: Almonds, walnuts, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, and flaxseeds, although higher in fat content, are also excellent sources of plant-based protein.
At the same time, it is important to consume these foods in moderation to avoid excessive protein intake, which may burden the body.
