Protein is vital for the body, aiding in muscle growth, tissue repair, enzyme production, and immunity, as well as oxygen transport. Here are three protein-rich foods:
1. Lentils
Cooked lentils provide about 9 grams of protein per 100 grams and are rich in fiber, which slows digestion and stabilizes blood sugar. They support heart health and offer iron and complex carbs, keeping energy levels steady throughout the day.
2. Chickpeas
Dry chickpeas contain around 19 grams of protein per 100 grams. Cooking adjusts protein content based on water absorption. Chickpeas are rich in fiber and plant compounds that improve heart health and reduce cardiovascular risk.
3. Greek Yogurt
Greek yogurt has about 10 grams of protein per 100 grams, double that of regular yogurt, and contains probiotics for gut health. Including it in your diet provides protein and natural antioxidants.
