If you know about how much protein you need, this list will help you figure out which foods will help you achieve that goal, including plant and animal sources of protein.

Shortcut: An ounce of meat or fish has approximately 7 grams of protein if cooked, and about 6 grams before cooking. Fish has slightly less than beef or poultry.

Chicken breast, 3.5 oz - 30 grams protein
Chicken thigh – 10 grams (for average size)
Drumstick – 11 grams
Wing – 6 grams

Tuna, 6 oz can - 40 grams of protein
Pork

Pork loin or tenderloin, 4 oz – 29 grams
Ham, 3 oz serving – 19 grams

Bacon, 1 slice – 3 grams
Canadian-style bacon (back bacon), slice – 5 – 6 grams
Eggs and Dairy
Egg, large - 6 grams protein
Milk, 1 cup - 8 grams
Cottage cheese, ½ cup - 15 grams
Yogurt, 1 cup – usually 8-12 grams, check label
Soft cheeses (Mozzarella, Brie, Camembert) – 6 grams per oz

Most beans (black, pinto, lentils, etc) about 7-10 grams protein per half cup of cooked beans
Soy beans, ½ cup cooked – 14 grams protein
Split peas, ½ cup cooked – 8 grams
Nuts and Seeds
Peanut butter, 2 Tablespoons - 8 grams protein

2 Minutes

Moderate**

30 Seconds


Max-Effort***

1 Minute


Low*

30 Seconds

Max-Effort

NO REST
Repeat this two other times. *Low: Feeling like you are walking in a park.
**Moderate: Feeling like you are going on a nice, regular-paced jog.
*** Max-Effort: Everything you’ve got, feeling like you are in the middle of a 100m sprint.
15 Minutes of HIIT will burn approximately 250 calories, including EPOC. It’s not possible to find out how many calories a certain activity exactly burns, unless you would go to a lab to get that measured (not convenient).
You can do this cardio routine 1-3 a week, depending on your caloric needs.
And do weightlifting. You can go at least 4 times a week. Best regards.
