Food with Sources of protein.

[Tom brev]

Seafood is one of the best sources of protein because it's usually low in fat. Fish such as salmon is a little higher in fat but it is the heart-healthy kind: omega-3 fatty acids.

White-Meat Poultry
Stick to the white meat of poultry for excellent, lean protein. Dark meat is higher in fat. The skin is loaded with saturated fat, so remove skin before cooking.

Milk, Cheese, and Yogurt
Not only are dairy foods -- like milk, cheese, and yogurt -- excellent sources of protein but they also contain valuable calcium. Choose skim or low fat dairy to keep bones and teeth strong, prevent osteoporosis, and enhance weight loss.

Eggs
Eggs are one of the least expensive forms of protein. The American Heart Association says normal healthy adults can safely enjoy an egg a day.

Beans
One-half cup of beans contains as much protein as three ounces of broiled steak. Plus, these nutritious nuggets are loaded with fiber to keep you feeling full for hours.

Pork Tenderloin
This great and versatile white meat is 31% leaner than 20 years ago.

Soy
Twenty five grams of soy protein daily can help lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease. Combine soy protein foods like tofu with a healthy low fat diet.

Banana shake is really helpful to gain the protein and it also helpful to gain the weight. So we can use the banana also to get these results.

Nuts and legumes, like beans, chick peas, and lentils are also an excellent, and inexpensive way to fix protein rich foods. I like adding lentils to soups. They go with just about anything, and are very easy to cook. One of my favorite recipes is a chickpea and lentil stew. You add 2 cups of lentils and 2 cups of chickpeas to 4 cups of veggie broth. Add 2 sliced carrots and a half of a chopped onion, a 1/4 cup of lime juice, and some ginger, cilantro, and oregano to taste. Let it simmer in a slow cooker for 6 hours. Voila, you have a protein rich and delicious meal.
