Beef

Beef is one of the most convenient ways to get your daily protein, mainly if you use premium ground beef with very low-fat content. It contains plenty of vitamins and minerals, but make sure that you eat other protein sources as well and reduce red meat consumption to 2-3 portions every week. If you manage your portions and consume various protein sources, you will obtain excellent nutrition from this type of food.

3 ounces of beef weighing around 85 grams contains close to 28 grams of protein. If you buy ground beef, the proportion of protein depends on the quality of the cut. The most expensive, labeled as premium, contains higher protein levels and lower fat.
