HIGH protein LOW calorie foods

If I am in a hurry Beef Jerky has 80 calories and 14 proteins, Greek yogurt has 120 cals and 12-14 proteins, Tuna is a good one too, Great Value nonfat cottage cheese is 80 calories and 14 proteins...those are just some off the top of my head.

Livestrong is just a content farm, I wouldn't pee on them if they were on fire.

Protein has 4 calories per gram, so the high protein low calorie foods are going to be low carb low fat foods like lean meat and some types of fish etc.

I have found this to be the case myself. There is a lot of not-so-good info there. :ohwell:

Wow. Trying to maintain the factual integrity of this place is really unpopular, it would appear. You know what? If you give out incorrect information, no matter the source - you are still wrong. If you are going to copy and paste stuff, at least make sure that what you are parroting is correct or fix it yourself when you repost it.

One is not expected to proof every single article we read. The information was generally correct, and still quite useable.
This is just my opinion here, but you're making a mountain out of a mole hill.

One would disagree, but we are all entitled to our opinions. I caught that error with my 5 seconf glance I gave her post. Almost right isn't very useful. We have a guy in this same forum asking about brocolli with zero calories because someone put that in a DB entry here. People take for granted whatever other people post here, so it behooves us that try to inform to be as correct as possible. Sorry if that's not cool with you all but people get confused and start wondering if they need to track grams or milligrams and next thing you know they're eating 10 pounds of steak a day to get their protein intake.

seriously, I think you are making a really big deal out of something that is very minor in the scheme of things.
As you said, we are all entitled to our opinions....but the way you express them goes a long way in determining how people take what you have to say.

The values for cottage cheese on the database here - and I know it's inaccurate but I checked several brands - seem to indicate that 100g has about 70 calories and 10g protein.

So I dont think the livestrong values are that unbelievable.

there's a lot of protein powders available on the market. Most of them probably give you about 20-30 gms of protein per scoop. Some of them taste pretty nasty though, so you have to shop around to find one you like.

Also, 5 second* glance.

ANYWAY.

When I'm on the prowl for protein but not too many calories, I generally go for tuna (the flavored pouches are extra nice and convenient), shrimp, chicken breast, eggs/egg whites, or string cheese.

I agree with the tuna, however, be careful with how much you eat because of the Mercury. I am not a health care professional so i do not know how much is considered "too much".
