What are the best sources of protein?

[Rolikei]

I know the usual stuff like tuna, chicken, salmon, some red meats. But what other really good sources of protein. I would like to mix my diet up a little.

I'm a big fan of red beans/black beans, almonds, and shakes

[MatrixGuy]

Turkey breasts, chicken breasts, lean ground beef, lean steaks, almonds, egg whites, natty peanut butter, cottage cheese.

[Rolikei]

How about stuff like lean lamb meat, shrimp, other fish like trout, or any other food so I don't have to eat chicken eight times a week.

incomplete proteins!

[Giantz11]

incomplete proteins!

Doesn't matter, it will all go into a poll containing all the other proteins.

[Rolikei]

I can't see a large portion of my protein coming from beans, I am looking for lean protein that I can eat a lot of while I am cutting. For me it is a lot easier to stick to a diet that has variety and I don't get sick of any certain food.

[Kärnfysikern]

over half my protein comes from soybeans nowdays.

aslong as you get protein from plenty of different sources the quality of each protein source is of no importance.

[Rolikei]

How do they taste? And how good are they compared to getting protein from meats?

[Kärnfysikern]

both are complete proteins so both meat and soy could be used as the only source of protein. But meat has a better balance of aminoacids so meat is the better protein.

But like I said. Unless you plan on eating only soybeans any quality difference wont be noticable in gains.

The taste is very bland. But it can be spices in a million ways and its dirt cheap
