Protein has become a major focus in the American diet, and for good reason. Research shows that protein is essential for maintaining a healthy immune system, supporting weight management, and improving body composition. It's no wonder many of us are looking for ways to incorporate more healthy proteins into our daily meals.

Tonight my bride and chef serves venison. I suppose we're not taking the advice seriously... But we will take it with a nice Italian red....

Ribeye is the top of my protein list, and absolutely NO soy ever.

I’ll take a 1 1/2” thick ribeye cooked medium-rare.

I found out something about iron recently that I didn’t know. Your body needs vitamin C in order to absorb the iron in the foods you eat!
So even if you are eating tons of iron rich foods and/or taking iron supplements you may still be iron deficient if you are not getting enough vitamin C to absorb all that iron.

How did I know beef and pork would not be on the list?

Do they explain their beef with chicken thighs?

Actually, RED MEAT is the best protein to eat. Why? Because it has the perfect blend of amino acids our body needs. If the mix of amino acids is wrong, our body builds what it can and ejects most of the leftover.
Red meat is better than white meat which is better than fish, but any animal flesh will beat plant protein. Because we’re not plants!
“Apparent (AD) and true (TD) digestibilities of the EAA fluctuated between 33 and 59% and 60 and 85%, respectively, for black beans. With red beans, these results diminished: 29 and 55% AD and 64 and 81% TD, while for white beans the limits extended: 18 and 57% AD and 36 and 86% TD.”

Don’t eat too much though as it stresses the kidneys and can cause damage if too much is consumed.

I thought Soy was NOT an ideal protein.
I thought it cause estrogen levels to rise in men...and as it were called “Bad” estrogen levels in women.
