As you can tell, I am catching up on my blog posts tonight, so this one is in a way kind of out of date.
I looked up the most protein rich foods, and this is what I found:
-Chicken
-Fish
-Pork
-Eggs and Dairy
-Beans
-Nuts and seeds
This was the most helpful article I found, and it breaks those categories up into subcategories. You can find them here: http://lowcarbdiets.about.com/od/whattoeat/a/highproteinfood.htm
I attempted to eat more protein over the past week, and wasn't too successful. Mostly because I don't make my own dinners, and I wasn't eating Chobani as much as I usually do (I usually have two or three a day). One thing Ms. Maddren and I were wondering about is how long it'd take to notice any difference in performance or physical feeling after eating a very high protein diet. It's hard for me to say at this point how different I feel, though, because I was not too successful at eating this way and I also have not had as rigorous of workout this past week. Maybe over a longer period of time I will be able to tell, though.
Part of it being hard for me to tell, is for example when I eat chicken for dinner. I have meat practically every night, but I never know exactly how large the serving size is, or how many servings I am eating. Home cooked meals definitely make it harder to log this kind of thing than for example just looking at the Chobani label.
