Here are some of the best proteins for people taking weight loss pills, shared by nutritionist Natalie Rizzo.
1. Poultry
Chicken and turkey are lean sources of protein that are easy to digest. They are also great sources of iron and vitamin B12, nutrients that are essential for overall energy.
2. Low-fat milk
Low-fat dairy is a great source of easily digestible protein. Low-fat milk, yogurt, and cottage cheese are all great sources of protein that can help with your weight loss goals.
3. Soybean products
Soy products like tofu, tempeh, and edamame are versatile, lean vegan proteins that work well in everything from stir-fries to burgers and salads.
4. Black beans, red beans
Black beans and kidney beans are high in protein and fiber, two nutrients that help keep you fuller longer between meals. While exact nutritional values vary, most beans provide about 7 grams of protein per half cup.
5. Nuts
Nuts are rich in protein and healthy fats, which help increase feelings of fullness. Pistachios and almonds have higher protein content than other nuts.
