A diet comprising of protein-rich foods keeps you full for a longer time while helping you shed those extra kilos by keeping your unhealthy cravings at bay. High protein foods like tofu, lentils, milk, and eggs provide you with the right amount of energy and improve the overall functioning of your body. Here are five protein-rich foods you should have every day.

#1
Almonds

High in vital nutrients like vitamin E, magnesium, fiber, and manganese, almonds are a rich source of plant-based protein. Consuming a handful of almonds daily helps to prevent cardiovascular diseases, including high blood pressure and high cholesterol levels. Moreover, 28.35 grams of these healthy nuts deliver six grams of protein. You can add them to salads, smoothies, or porridge for an extra protein boost.

#2
Milk

We all are aware of the powerful nutrients in milk that keep us energized and strengthen our bones, teeth, and muscles. It's high in protein, calcium, vitamins B2 and B3, and phosphorus that are extremely good for overall health. One cup of dairy milk contains 8.32 grams of protein. In case you are lactose intolerant, you can try coconut, almond, or even potato milk.

#3
Lentils

If you are a vegetarian or follow a vegan diet, then lentils are the best food to fulfill your daily protein intake. Lentils are packed with plant-based protein along with folate, fiber, manganese, potassium, magnesium, copper, and iron. One cup of cooked lentils provides 18 grams of protein. According to studies, people who eat lentils daily have a reduced risk of developing heart illnesses.

#4
Cottage cheese

Cottage cheese contains a high amount of protein but is low in calories and fat that helps you with weight loss. It's also high in essential nutrients like vitamins B2 and B12, calcium, phosphorus, and selenium. It is delicious and also keeps you full for a longer time just like eggs and chicken. One cup of cottage cheese contains 28 grams of protein.

#5
Eggs

Eggs are high in protein and provide your body with all the healthy nutrients it needs. They are rich in vitamins A and B12, minerals, selenium, and antioxidants. They also contain a nutrient called choline needed during pregnancy and breastfeeding. The protein content in one large egg is about 6.3 grams. You can have hard-boiled or scrambled eggs or add them to salads.
