6 High-Protein Foods That Are Super Healthy

People argue about carbs, fats and everything in between. However, almost everyone agrees that protein is important and has numerous benefits including increased strength and muscle mass, and helping you to lose weight.

In this video we're looking at 6 delicious high protein foods that are super healthy. The last one is part of a super controversial meme that has been shared hundreds of thousands of times that I just wanted to clarify.

Oats, beans and nuts all contain high levels of complete proteins. Actually 1/2 cup of oats contains 6 g of protein, the same as 1/2 cup of beans and one egg. Cocoa powder surprisingly contains protein but it's not a complete protein(only 8 amino acids), it's also loaded with magnesium and fiber.

Thank you so much for sharing this. I have low protein and having trouble understanding why and what to do about it. I eat a lot less now since Im at home due to Covid. I plan to try all of the you suggested, lucky I love them all.

Thank you for this informative video. As one of the countless individuals out here who are trying to balance taste, nutrition, and calories, these videos are very helpful. Please keep up the good work!

Loved the comments on number 6 - contexts so so so important. Would be great to have this included more often, were applicable. Also would like a better understanding of Bio -available (eg iron reference in this video). What is the bio availableness of proteine in plant, eg lentils and how it compere with animal proteine, outside of life style choices of course.

When it's actually science it just has this quality of common sense to it. Thanks Healthline, you all get it right so often. Great trustworthy source.

I eat eggs, oats and tuna everyday for the daily protein 💪💪 🏋️

Your emphasis on, and explanation of, context is excellent, which is why chicken should have been included in this video, but not broccoli.

[IonTrone]

when doing these type of videos, it would be very helpful if y'all also mention how much of the included protein is / can-be absorbed by the human body :)

For people asking why not other sources, this is his opinion of great sources. Compared to others broccoli has little, but among veges its alot

From a fellow Dietitian, I love your videos! However, I'm wondering about the content of protein in the oats that you mentioned. In the US, 1/2 cup raw oats ranges from 3-6 grams depending on the type (Quick, thick cut, steel cut). Do you have some kind of "Super Oats" down in AU?!

[johnkenny]

Try food combining for full protein. eg, beans +corn

[theimprovisedmanfriends]

I really want more broccoli now. I enjoy it, but I didn't know it was that good to have 👍🙏

[jerwinreyes]

Is flavored oats okay? Or just go straight for plain oats?

[robinhart]

I have a question… If I eat seafood, but not red meat, do I need to be taking an amino acid supplement and if so, which one or kind?

[johnsheetz]

Cottage cheese in my go-to for the high protein on the cheap cheaper than protein powder doses per gram

[timbruce]

Most everywhere I check .5 cup of oats has about 6 grams...even the food label on my Quaker oats agrees.
