Foods high in protein come from many different sources not just animal meat. A high protein diet is often recommended for people trying to build muscle or lose weight. There are many different foods that are high in protein. Animal meats, fish, soy products and nuts are high in protein.

When talk about foods high in protein we tend to automatically think about meat and chicken, but there are many other food sources that are protein rich, and many suitable for vegans and vegetarians alike.

There are many fad diets that advocate the use of a high protein diet. These should be used with caution as they can tend to be very high in calories and fat. As always, it must be said that any diet or nutritional intake program should be part of a holistic balanced healthy lifestyle.

Why A High Protein Diet?

Commonly bodybuilders use a very high protein diet, this is because of the high amino acid levels it contains. These amino acids repair damage was done to the body by excessive exercise.

This kind of diet is also often used by those trying to lose weight. Some think that the higher levels of protein within the diet in some way act as an appetite suppressant, and controls overall calorie intake.

It's not fully understood yet how increasing the level of protein in the diet works as an appetite suppressant. It is thought that the brain receives less appetite stimulating hormones and also has less insulin spikes, more stable sugar levels turn lead fewer cravings.

It is also considered by a growing majority that maintaining a diet that's higher in protein, and lower in carbs, will help reduce the levels of fat in the blood and aid the body to burn calories.

The following is a list of the top foods high in protein, and how many grams of protein they contain per hundred grams:

Lean beef fillet - 34g
Peanuts - 33g
Low fat mozzarella - 32g
Turkey breast – 30g
Salmon - 23g
Chia seeds – 20.4g
Beans - 18g
Eggs – 15g
Tofu – 9g

Be aware that the above foods high in protein values is solely the amount of protein within the food source. Things like peanuts have high calorie values as well, so all things should be considered when deciding what to eat.

Definite strength improvement

The brown rice protein powder has been more successful at giving me a strength boost for all my activity.

This compares more favourably than using 2/3 eggs a day, and my protein intake has increased from 0.94 g per kilo of body weight up to 1.29. The medically recommended optimal is 1.5 g per kilo of body weight.

I recommend this protein long term for people who want to improve their strength and long term health

Hibiscus Tea Health Benefits

I have purine accumulation which causes pain in muscles and joints similar to athritis and it can fool doctors into thinking it is athritis.
I use sour cherry juice and hibiscus tea and a low purine diet and I have alleviated my symptoms greatly.
I had a fortnight without my hibiscus tea and the symptoms came back.
I drink the tea without addititives and it is an acquired taste but now I quite enjoy it knowing how it improves my health and well being,

5 stars!! Best psyllium husk to buy

I always buy this psyllium husk as it gives a lovely colour, flavour and softness to my gluten free bread. Many of the other brands make my bread purple!

A definite favourite

Delighted to find yerba mate tea in a bag form,organic as well. Was introduced to yerba mate tea by an Argentinian friend,who brews it in her proper "pot with a spout"& used as a sharing device with friends. It's an acquired taste,but I love it & it gives a boost instead of coffee. Very happy with service & purchase.
