Protien, while we're on it

[norther practitioner]

OK, so I'm a psuedo vegie....
I eat poultry and fish. I've heard some comments on complete protiens and such. Is seafood typically a complete protien, because it is one of my main sources also, what about poultry?


Thanks,

NP

Yes, as far as I know, all meat proteins are complete. So that includes fish, poultry, beef, eggs, etc. Milk is, too.

It's things like beans and stuff that aren't necessarily complete.

Cool, thanks...

I love crab, and have been eating a crapload of it. It is 20g protien to 1.5g fat, no carbs.

you're forgetting to count the garlic butter, np. :D

All animal proteins are complete. However, beware the fat content of shellfish. Prawns for example, are very high in saturated fat when you'd think they'd be very "lean".

nothing beats whey protein specially if you're weightlifting

but here's some quick info for ya:

Turkey, 3oz has 27grams of protein
Chicken, 3oz 25gm

Tuna, 4oz 28gm
Halibut, 3.5oz 26gm
Shrimp, 4oz 20gm
