What are the best foods to eat to keep protein levels up?

Fish and shellfish are good sources of protein. Try to eat oil-rich fish such as salmon, mackerel, herring, and sardines.

Hi Judy,
Lentils and beans are also a great source of protein, they are low in fat and packed with fibre and nutrients such as iron and B vitamins. Try having lentil soups, beans in salads such as butter beans and chickpeas in curry or houmous dip.
Cheese is also high in protein. Low fat options such as cottage cheese and mozzarella are the best ones to go for!
Hope this helps.

Hi Judy,
Chicken, Turkey, Eggs, Nuts and especially Soya based protein are good as well as it's important for your body to also get a good amount of plant based protein and not too much animal that would also come with animal fats, which aren't too healthy. I can email you a list of healthy protein that would probably help you, that I'm using for my clients as well as in a weight loss challenge, where I teach people about nutrition, metabolism etc, covering different topics every week. Get in touch if you'd like the information.
Herbalife do many products that are high in healthy soya protein and very low in fat with plenty of nutrients at the same too.
Best of health
