Bison is super lean, and it's grass-fed per FDA regulations. Non-predatory cold water fish are another great option.

Also, don't forget about plant sources! Rice and beans combine to make a complete protein, as do nut butters and whole grain breads, and there's quite a few stand-alone complete proteins too. More info. here:

Why ty.

[DodgersGM]

You're welcome!

[DodgersGM]

Thanks! :)

[knotme]

no problem

I don't think there is a 'best'. Eating a variety of natural protein sources will be better then always eating one.

And why lean? What are we back in the 80's and think fat will kill us again?

[knotme]

Its not that I think that, but I would rather get my sources of fat from olive oil, nut butters, and nuts

[kheserthorpe]

I get plenty from them too, but I actually think some animal fats are good as well.

I'm sure you could argue some sort of fish is the best animal protein source as long as the heavy metal content is low.

[knotme]

Yes, and you are eating the skin

[MyNameIsJonas]

It's true that variety is best. Natural fats are healthy as they help protein synthesis and other functions of the body.

[MyNameIsJonas]

Personal opinion i'd say fish. It contains a good balance of protein and healthy fats/omega 3s. I love sardines, tuna, or salmon.

Variety is really key.

thanks for the input

I think it's chicken. Probably the most affordable and easiest one to buy, where ever you go.

[knotme]

I agree

[maiez]

Chicken is super lean, but I love salmon for protein.

[knotme]

Yeah, I salmon as well, I just hate freezing it

[maiez]

You can get smoked salmon, you just leave it in the fridge and dont have to heat it up

[knotme]

I know but that is loaded in sodium, but I guess in moderation

[iUnderachieve]

Deer is actually very lean and naturally tender..but um yeah.

[knotme]

I don't want to eat bambi. :(

[iUnderachieve]

to live you have to be evil >:)

[knotme]

Lol, I agree, just not to bambi

[llorando]

Fish, or white meat turkey, even white meat of the chicken can be lean too.

[knotme]

Thank you
