We need protein but keep it lean

25/03/2009 by admin.

It is important that we include protein in our diet.  It helps with muscle contraction, helps us fight infection and plays a part in haemoglobin production.  Haemoglobin carries oxygen around the body.  If we have low haemoglobin levels we would become anaemic.

It can be found in many foods such as meats, cheese, eggs, yoghurt and beans.  However, you need to be careful as some foods which are high in protein also contain a lot of saturated fat. 

 I’ve therefore noted below some of the best low protein foods:-

  • Egg Whites
  • Low-fat cottage cheese
  • Low-fat yoghurt
  • Beans (eg kidney, chick peas or lentils)
  • Chicken or turkey breast (remove the skin)
  • Fish Fillet
  • Shellfish (clams, scallops, lobster, shrimp)
  • Tuna (fresh or in spring water - not oil)
