Read More »Protein can help you shed those unwanted pounds -- and keep your belly full. But it's important to eat the right amount and the right kind of protein to get its health benefits. Seafood Seafood is an excellent source of protein because it's usually low in fat. Fish such as salmon is a little higher in fat, but it is the heart-healthy kind: it has omega-3 fatty acids. White-Meat Poultry Stick to poultry for excellent, lean protein. Dark meat is a little higher in fat. The skin is loaded with saturated fat, so remove skin before eating.

Choose skim or low-fat dairy to keep bones and teeth strong and help prevent osteoporosis. Eggs Eggs are one of the least expensive forms of protein. The American Heart Association says normal healthy adults can safely enjoy an egg a day. Beans One-half cup of beans contains as much plant-based protein as an ounce of broiled steak. Plus, these nutritious nuggets are inexpensive and loaded with fiber to keep you feeling full for hours. Pork Tenderloin This versatile white meat is 31% leaner than it was 20 years ago. Soy Fifty grams of soy protein daily can help lower cholesterol by about 3%. Eating plant-based soy protein instead of sources of higher-fat protein -- and maintaining a healthy diet -- can be good for your heart.

Check the label to be sure the product contains at least six grams of protein and is low in sugar and saturated fat.
Almond flour is also an excellent source of healthy fats, one of the essential components of a ketogenic diet. Each 100 gram serving of almond...
