    For anyone interested, I have a list of 100 foods and their protein content.

    http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10244142/list-of-foods-with-highest-protein-calorie-percentage#latest

    I'll periodically add to the list as there are quite a few foods missing.

    If you are looking to add a little more protein to your diet you can try adding in some of these foods to help. YMMV on protein content depending on brand and serving size, but this at least a step in the right direction.

    Snacks:
    • Beef Jerky
    • Peanut Butter
    • Mixed nuts
    • Pumpkin Seeds
    • Roasted Soy nuts
    • Canned Tuna Fish

    “Main course meats”:
    • Chicken breast
    • Tuna
    • Roast Beef
    • Turkey Breast
    • Salmon
    • Tilapia

    Dairy Isle:
    • Eggs
    • 2% Milk
    • Soy Milk
    • Swiss Cheese
    • Cottage Cheese
    • Greek Yogurt

    Vegetables
    • Sun dried tomatoes (8G- who knew!)
    • Spinach
    • Broccoli
    • Artichoke

    This list is meant to be expanded on, so if you have any suggestions feel free to add them!
    good list

    Many of your snacks are high fat not high protein.

    Beef Jerky - 10G protein
    • Peanut Butter 8G
    • Mixed nuts- 12G
    • Pumpkin Seeds- 14G
    • Roasted Soy nuts -11G
    • Canned Tuna Fish- 25G

    I was only focusing on protein- not on fat.

    And oatmeal has 5g of protein. Doubt you'll find anyone that wouldn't call it a high carb. For it to be high anything the majority of its calories need to come from that macro.anything nut related can't accomplish this.


    I totally agree, nuts and seeds should not be considered high protein foods... In 2 tablespoons of peanut butter, roughly 190-200 calories with 7-8g of protein.... That's 28-32 calories from protein... That's 15% of the macronutrient breakdown, with about 16g of fat, which accounts for about 138 calories of the total, and about 70% of the macronutrients, it just doesn't make any sense... Like coryrood said, it's like calling oats a protein source with 10g of protein per cup... Yeah but it has 60g of carbs...

    Bodybuilding.com also has a nice list of higher protein foods.

    For the nay sayers on peanut butter and nuts- look at #30 and #31 on BB's list.

    I was given an equation of 10 cal/1gr protein. It seems to have helped me so far. Good luck.

    @JamesBost2016 what does this mean ? that we should eat foods that have at least 1 gram of protein for every 10 calories?

    10:1 is the proportion that my nutritionist told me. I think that it's a good start.

    That eatlean protein cheese is interesting too. The only ingredient listed is pasteurized milk. But most of the fat has been removed, as well as all the lactose. That leaves...what? Casein and whey proteins with a little fat.

    eggs are good because the protein absorption is very high. Just because it lists a certain amount of grams of protein does not mean your body will absorb all of it. Eggs absorb at a very high level and are great. I like non fat yogurt, tuna, and chicken for high protein items. I consider peanut butter high in fat not high in protein.
