I read a great article about daily protein needs during my regular reading of a few health related blogs. I made a comment on it asking which foods were high in protein because I don’t have a clue about these things and sometimes find it difficult to look up these things when reviewing recipes. From my comment, Laura (the author of the blog) e-mailed me a spreadsheet with different foodstuffs. I thought it had enough information on it for the food I usually eat anyway that it would almost be a crime not to share it with everyone here.
All that leaves is for me to thank Laura publicly – thank you for letting me publish the list – and for you all to read through this to see how you are doing with your protein intake. Be sure to visit Laura’s blog because it has a load of useful information.
