Whether you’re trying to fit more protein into your diet or are just looking to freshen up your choices, we have top-tier, high-protein foods you should be eating.

To hit your recommended intake of protein per day (55 to 70 grams for a 150-pound person), turn to sources like beef, which provides 25 grams of protein per 3-ounce portion when cooked. Ideally, you should be seeking out cuts that are lower in fat including sirloin, tenderloin, flank steak and 90% lean ground beef.

From hummus to crunchy baked chickpeas, these beans — which contain about 12 grams of plant-based protein per cup — are certainly a legume to love. Prepare dried beans quickly and efficiently with an electric pressure cooker, or simply rinse and drain canned chickpeas.

An underappreciated legume, lentils can fortify salads, soups, casseroles and tacos with an ample dose of protein power. One cup of cooked lentils provides 18 grams of protein plus nearly 65% of your daily fiber requirement.
