15 Sources Of High Protein Other Than MeatPosted by Jessica Oxford on Friday, October 31st 2008 31 Oct Protein is the only nutrient directly responsible for building muscle and when you exercise your protein needs increase. This is why body builders and a lot of athletes are obsessed with their protein intake. However protein isn’t just found in meat, eggs and milk or sourced from powders. There is also protein in vegetables, beans, legumes, and grains. Even though some of these protein sources are lacking in complete essential amino acids I thought it worthwhile producing a list of the top protein foods besides meat and eggs. 15 Sources Of High Protein Other Than Meat Item Serving Protein Carbohydrates 1.
