PROTEIN 101: Fueling your body with whole foods

 

Complete ProteinsLooking to increase your protein intake but unsure about what foods are the best options? I’ve included a quick protein 101 infographic below.

What I love about this graphic is how it doesn’t mention protein powder at all. While I have been know to down a shake or two , I would much rather fulfill my protein requirement with whole foods such as lean turkey, chicken, lean beef or eggs.

Not into meat? That’s ok! While, you’ll have to put a little more thought into your protein consumption to form complete proteins – there are plenty of options like quinoa, soy, buckwheat, seitan, and linking foods like rice and beans.

Enjoy the read!
