Top 10 Food with High protein.( Must Try it )

1. Free-range Eggs Eggs are a terrific source of protein. You can have them at any time of the day and cook them in a variety of ways. They’re also loaded with amino acids. Free range eggs are more nutritious, however, as the diet of hens allowed to roam is more varied and natural than caged hens. Note that egg whites offer the same amount of protein but less cholesterol than egg yolk.
Protein content:
        Approximately 6 grams per 1 egg.

2. Quinoa

High in protein and low in cholesterol, quinoa also provides you with lots of iron and dietary fibre for good bowel health.
Protein content:
        8 grams per 190 grams/1 cup.

3. Cottage cheese (reduced fat option)

All cheeses provide plenty of protein but watch for the fat content. Because of its versatility, a low-fat variety of cottage cheese is an ideal high protein snack food.
Protein content:
        100 grams/1/2 cup of low-fat cottage cheese contains approximately 13 grams of protein.

4. Grass-fed beef and steak

In much the same way that free-range eggs are preferable to eggs from caged hens, grass-fed beef will provide you with more nutrients and healthier fats that grain-fed beef so opt for it if you can. The protein content will be the same regardless:
Protein content:
        100 grams/4 oz of lean beef will provide you with around 22 grams of protein.

5. Greek yogurt

Greek yogurt contains more protein than regular yogurt. It is richer, contains valuable fats, more nutrients, and is lower in sugar. Choose 0% fat if you want to keep the fats very low in a recipe or dish.
Protein content:
        A 200 gram/3/4 cup serving of Greek yogurt has around 8.2 grams of protein.

6. Soya Milk

Soya milk is an excellent substitute for milk if you are dairy intolerant. As well as being rich in protein, soya milk has been proven to lower cholesterol, thereby reducing the risk of heart disease.
Protein content:
             240ml/1 cup soya milk contains 8 grams of protein.

7. Turkey

Turkey and chicken are both excellent sources of protein, but turkey contains less fat and is slightly higher in amino acids – including tryptophan, which aids sleep. Removing the skin will reduce the saturated fat content.
Protein content:
        100 grams/4 oz of roasted turkey breast contains 21 grams of protein.

8. Almonds

Most nuts are a safe bet when it comes to providing plenty of protein along with oodles of omega-3 fatty acids and fibre. Almonds made the list because they’re widely available, extremely versatile, and among the lowest-calorie nuts you can buy.
Protein content:
        A 25g/1/4 cup serving of almonds will provide you with 6 grams of protein.

9. Edamame

Like nuts, most legumes (beans, peas and lentils) offer lots of protein and fibre. Edamame is a bean that is particularly high in protein but balances it with carbohydrates and unsaturated fat.
Protein content:
        A serving of 100 grams/4 oz contains 12 grams of protein.

10. Canned tuna and salmon

Tuna and salmon are two extremely healthy high protein foods. Both are high in omega 3 fatty acids, which reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer and arthritis. Tuna gets the nod on our list, however, because it’s typically more affordable and contains fewer calories!
Protein content:
    100 grams/4 oz of tuna contains 27 grams of protein.
