Foods highest in protein
Protein is the nutrient people check first, and it's one of the easier ones to cover — meat, dairy, legumes, and eggs all carry it. This ranking is per 100 grams rather than per serving, so the order reads differently from how a plate reads. Here's how the foods in Mirabelly's catalog line up.
