From food labels highlighting protein to influencers sharing their high-protein meals, protein\u2019s role in supporting muscle mass, weight loss, and blood sugar regulation is more prominent than ever.<\/p>\n<p>But do you know how much protein you\u2019re eating day to day? This chart of protein content in foods will show you.<\/p>\n<p>It can be hard to know exactly how much protein is in food sometimes. In fact, a recent MyFitnessPal survey found that people often overestimate how much protein is in their food. For example, 88% of respondents said they don\u2019t know how much protein, fiber, carbs, sugar, and salt they consume daily.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s change that.

Focus on high quality, whole food protein sources like the ones on this list.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.myfitnesspal.com\/best-protein-powders\/\">Protein powders<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.myfitnesspal.com\/best-protein-bars-according-to-dietitians\/\">bars<\/a> are fine occasionally, but according to Nelson they\u2019re not going to give you the same satiety benefit. \u201cWe think protein is filling because it usually comes from less-processed, more whole foods,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-60351 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/potenzmittel.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image-819x1024-1.png\"><\/figure>\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<div style=\"height:14px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>About the Expert<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Stephanie Nelson, MS, RD<\/strong> is a Registered Dietitian and is MyFitnessPal\u2019s in-house nutrition expert and nutrition scientist.
