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.
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:
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.

I’ve been drinking peppermint tea for years - I suffer with IBS & I find it to be one of the best things to calm my tummy and settle it. This peppermint is by far the BEST I’ve ever tried. It’s a firm favourite and we won’t be going back to any other brand! You can see the leaves in the tea bags - not just ‘dust’ & the taste is far superior than any others we’ve tasted. We can often get two cups out of one tea bag too as it’s full flavoured. Simply love - highly recommend these tea bags!
My partner and I came across these teas recently & although they’re a little more in price than other brands, the reviews were excellent & we drink a lot of herbal tea so thought we’d give them a go. WOW - we’re so glad we did!! These teas are amazing!! We love that the tea bags aren’t full of ‘dust’ like many others - you can actually see the whole plant leaves & buds - simply the best we’ve tried - (we especially love the chamomile, peppermint & turmeric varieties & we’ve been re- ordering regularly!) we hadn’t tried this one so ordered - it’s our new favourite ! This tea is very refreshing - I like a cup before bed & I find it very settling on my tummy (which is prone to getting cramps) & I often drink throughout the day. I find one tea is strong enough to re-use too. Highly recommend!
Lots of lovely, large pieces of mint with a great colour. Super flavour.
Good quality tea, full of flavour!
You just don't get many companies like this anymore, that send thank you notes and provide free samples, its such a lovely touch and I really appreciated it! The quality of their products is unlike any other and the packaging is environmentally friendly and beautiful. I'm committed to only buying from this company now. Thank you!
I use this daily and it has become a staple part of my nutrition. Pure, premium grade and full of minerals. I also like to add a pinch in my water before a gym session and I feel it helps when I train. It's trial and error with foods/supplements and this definitely works for me! I have fewer headaches and the salt enhances hydration. Great product!
Fair priced , super products .
My iron / energy levels are on the way up . I shot this every morning as part of my routine .
The Natural Health Market offers great service when one orders. I order hibiscus tea regularly and drink it daily as it helps my blood pressure. This supplier is friendly and helpful and reliable. Maureen Curson
From ordering to tasting, first class service and products. Ian and Aon are so knowledgeable about the products they make and happy to advise.
You will not find teas like this in the supermarkets, they are so rich and flavoursome. The range of protein powders and supplements are fantastic. First class. Highly recommend
