1. Raisins (1 gram of protein)
When you think of protein, you probably think meat, seafood, legumes, tofu, yogurt, cheese, nuts and eggs—the usual suspects. And whilst you’re not wrong, they’re certainly among the best foods to consume for protein, an essential macronutrient that builds muscle mass. But here’s a fun fact: certain fruits also contains protein in small amounts too. Include these in your diet for that extra protein intake, to help balance a good, healthy and tasty diet. According to the FDA, men should aim to consume 56 grams per day, while women should aim for 46 grams of protein a day. A one-cup serving of fruit will generally provide less than six grams of protein, so don’t neglect other sources, but certainly use these fruits as and when you can as well.
