Which of the following has more protein?
See picture below .

Answer: 3 ounces of beef

All of the above are good sources of protein, but beef and other meats tend to be particularly protein-packed.  

However, animal-based proteins also tend to be high in saturated fat, which can lead to high cholesterol and heart disease. 

When choosing red meats as a source of protein, stick with the leanest cuts and chose moderate sizes.

Processed red meats in particular have been linked to a higher risk of colon cancer.  

Most experts recommend limiting your intake of red meat to 18 ounces weekly and avoiding processed meats.
