    I always point to this spreadsheet that I keep in my google docs. I found the data on a British calorie site, reorganized it a little. Biggest protein bang for your calorie-dollar is going to be tuna steaks (not the canned crap, actual tuna steaks).

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AhrF6DYrFPujdDFJODJKQzB5QTQ0eXVIcWstTHBRZHc#gid=0

    Your Top Ten (per 100g serving):
    Tuna Fish (Steak) - 25.6g protein/110 calories = .233 g protein per calorie (gppc)
    Tilapia Fish - 24 g/105 kcal = .229 gppc
    Crab meat - 18.1g/80 kcal = .226 gppc
    Cod Fish - 17.9 g/80 kcal = .224 gppc
    Turkey Breast (skinless) - 22.3g/100 kcal = .223 gppc
    Orange Roughy Fish - 22.64g/105 kcal=.216 gppc
    Chicken Breast (Skinless) - 23.5g/109 kcal = .216 gppc
    Prawns (shrimp to us yanks) - 17g/80 kcal = .213 gppc
    Haddock Fish - 16.4g/80 kcal = .205 gppc

    The highest ranking nut or seed is Pumpkin Seeds at 34th on the list, 0.049 gppc (28.8 g protein and 586 kcal per 100 g serving).

    Add to that list:

    Wild Alaskan Salmon per 100g - 25g protein/118 Kcals.

    Hey, can someone give me some advice on a subject I am clearly inept in so I can then refute what they say as if I know my *kitten* from a hole in the ground?


    OP, your posts are idiotic.

    Thanks for posting that for me so I didn't have to think through a blind rage for a proper reply.

    Edit: The OP has got to be a very strategic troll profile. Right?

    Poultry has the lowest calories for highest protein amount. That is one of my go-to meals. Also Bison if you can find it is very lean (low cal) and high protein not to mention mighty tasty.

    Unless you have a lot of calories to spend, seeds and nuts would not be the way to go. Can do some cheese but again, those are higher in calories.

    I disagree, you don't need a lot of calories to spend to eat seeds/nuts. You just need to plan them into a meal just like you do steak and chicken. Or if you are snacking on them, you need to snack on them measuring properly. A 14g serving of dark chocolate roasted almonds goes a LONG way for me.

    Chicken seems like the cheapest, I just hate dressing it up because THAT is where the wasted calories come from. BBQ sauces, rubs, dressing, spices, marinades, and seasonings all make lean meat into high cal and nutrient deficient meals (that admittedly taste good but was a waste of calories).

    Spices are not high calorie. How does seasoning a meat make it nutrient deficient?

    I was gonna ask the same thing. Just adds more sodium, not really calories. See you next Thursday!

    I'd offer up some advice, but it appears that you're looking for a specific answer instead of a correct one. :flowerforyou:
