When trying to lose weight, our daily protein intake is important because it helps maintain a healthy metabolic rate. When we cut calories for weight loss, our body switches and burns more of the protein from muscle cells in order to balance our body's energy needs. An adequate dietary protein intake, along with sufficient calories, limits the breakdown of lean muscle for energy provision.
Good quality protein foods also aid growth and maintenance of other body tissues such as; hair, nails, skin and smooth muscles, as well as in the build up of antibodies to fight potential infections. However, this doesn't mean a high protein diet would be more beneficial to people wishing to lose weight!
Some people believe a weight loss diet should contain around 20 percent from protein. The protein intake does not need to be high in comparison to energy intake because the body's energy needs will generally have priority. This means if you ingested too little energy, the body will simply burn up protein energy rather than use it all for metabolism and muscle maintenance, and its other functions. The energy requirements will predominantly be supplied by carbohydrates and fats. If however, you plan to lose weight with more anaerobic exercise, then protein intake may need to be increased a little to aid growth of any new lean mass.
All foods contain some protein but many foods, like those of plant origin, lack certain amino acids. Some amino acids are essential to health as they cannot be produced by the body. These are the amino acids that must be provided in the daily diet.
It does NOT mean however, that we will suffer if we don't eat high quality protein food sources each day. Good health can still be maintained by only including a few items from the list below, and even if those are consumed just a few times each week.
Foods that provide good quality protein are:
EGGS
MEAT
FISH
POULTRY
MILK
CHEESE
Other good sources include:
NUTS
SEEDS
PEAS
BEANS
LENTILS
TOFU
YEAST
SOY PRODUCTS
Less good sources include:
many vegetables



Cheese - especially low-sodium parmesan at 41% protein (41g per 100g).
Mature roasted soybeans - 39% protein (they have more than edamame because they're more mature).
Lean veal and beef - 36% protein.
Roasted pumpkin/squash seeds - 33% protein.
Other lean meats - around 30%.
Fish - tuna is highest also at 30%.

Here's for your reference :

Edameme - 22.2 grams per 1 cup serving
Tempeh - 20.4 grams
Cooked lentils - 17.9 grams

Quinoa and hempseeds are vegan protein powerhouses too!



According to this list, liver contains the most protein. Then pork chops and beef. I left out cheese since it's a processed food, not "natural."
