What are your top three source of protein ?

[Coledition]

I want to know what are your guys top 3 sources of protein. Which ones are better? Mine would have to be: Milk, eggs, chicken!

You'll probably get a lot more honest answers if you remove the 'Which ones are better?' part of your post.


Mine are probably chicken/salmon first, greek yogurt second, and cheese/eggs third

But I do a lot of baking with whey as well

And quite a decent amount comes from veggies/nut butters.

currently, mine would have to be cottage cheese and greek yogurt! Going through a phase where I usually have both of these items everyday, and get the rest of my protein/fat from meat

I don't think there is a best protein source unless you are talking most amount of protein per kcal, which would probably be some sort of protein supplement (obviously not the best source), but the best option would be to get your daily protein from as many varied sources as you can, to be getting a good mixture of micronutrients.

I meant to say which one is healthier overall , I know eggs are better than milk for some, that is why I asked for "better ones"

Healthier, or 'better ones' are the ones that will correct any imbalances and provide you with any nutrients your currently lacking. Eggs may be better for some people, while milk may be better for others.

Safe to say, any complete protein source from food will typically be 'better' than whey, since there will be some micronutrients that come along with the protein. Unless the person is on a very tight budget, strapped on time, and gets sufficient micronutrients from the rest of their diet, in which case whey might actually be the 'better' source.

not necessarily, whey actually has the best bioavailability and can have a good deal of calcium, doesn't bring on potential harmful effects of processed meat, grain fed livestock, overcooking meats

In general using a variety is best

There is no such thing as a food that is healthier than another. Everything we as humans eat for food has a different composition of macronutrients. It comes down to the individual needs of the person to determine what foods best serve their goals!

As soon as you figure this out, the world is your oyster, or whatever protein you prefer

Chicken
Turkey
Whey when used to make protein pancakes, ice cream, fluff, sludge
Egg whites

You missed the rest of my post. Thats exactly what I was saying, its not necessarily the best, or the worst, its dependent on the person, and variety is best to help reach goals...I just gave a few specific example of when whey could be better, didn't think I needed to list them all to prove my point :P lol
