Nice article on Yahoo! about protein rich foods.

Just wanted to share an article on foods that have more Protein in them than a beef hamburger, as per Yahoo!

I guess most of the stuff is obvious, but I was really surprised to read about pumpkin seeds being a good protein source.

Enjoy!

Great minds think alike! I was just about to post a link to that article. Pretty interesting Protein info!

It does serve as a good reminder that there are other sources of Protein than meat, though for them to consider a fast food cheeseburger like that a "meat dish" may be stretching things a bit, particularly amongst our crowd. Much of calories in there are from the far from lean meat used and the bun - a 4oz patty of 85% ground beef pan fried with cheese is around 240 cal and 27g Protein. And, while some of the veg mentioned, like broccoli and cauliflower, may have a decent amount of protein per calorie, it doesn't help us much with the volume restrictions that we have.

Nevertheless, it is still a good lesson that we can mix things up some and still get in our protein.
