Where Does My Protein Come From?

The most common place to find concentrated sources of protein is in meat. Beef, pork, shrimp, chicken and
the list goes on. But what kind of protein is the best protein for you? We all know that processed chicken and beef is not the best for you and is best to stay away from. This we know.

For most of use, our diets consists of chicken, beef and pork, but there is so much more. Lets take a look at some sources of protein not normally looked at.

• turkey
• shrimp
• buffalo
• salmon
• tuna
• crab
• deer
• clams
• and much more...

When organically produced, these sources can provide a dense, clean building block for your body when making repair from a recent workout or just for sustaining a healthy lifestyle.


In general, meat should be purchased at a local food co-op or organically through other sources. Large chains grocery stores generally get their meat from 2nd grade producers, as opposed to organically.



Don't forget other sources of protein found in nuts & seeds. Egg whites are also a great source of protein. Check out the video to the right for detailed instructions on how to make paleo free protein bars.
