Q: How do I know which kinds of protein are the best?
A: With protein food choices, variety is the key. Animal protein like meat and poultry and plant based proteins like soy, nuts and beans are all included in the protein foods group. Since most Americans eat too much protein, MyPlate recommends less meat and more choices from the wide range of foods in the protein group. In addition to traditional meat and poultry entrees, make sure to include non-meat choices and choose seafood at least twice a week. Meatless soy products like veggie burgers and tofu are becoming more and more popular. Keep in mind that beans and peas like kidney or pinto beans, black eyed or split peas are nourishing plant protein foods that are also high in fiber.
