Proteins are a rich source of building blocks for muscles, hormones and enzymes. As a bonus, proteins are also important in the growth of healthy hair and nails as well as keeping the skin glowing. It is also a filling food since it takes a longer time than most foods to digest. Unlike most carbohydrates this will unlikely cause spikes in blood sugar. We heavily rely on eggs for proteins and while 1 large egg contains 6 gram of proteins, there are other sources of protein with an even higher percentage. 

If you are looking for foods with higher protein content, or you have decided to go vegan you should try these foods.
