Dont know...but I always wondered how much pure protein is neccessary.

Horses eat nothing but grass, and are far more muscular than humans.

Egg

One medium egg about 40 gms contains 6 gms of protein.

Also the protein is of high biologic value in terms of essential amino acids (egg is the standard against which other proteins are rated) and net protein utilisation.

 

I'd say whey protein powder is fairly high in protein. It's the easiest to put down, as well. Other than that, meat. Chicken, beef, eggs. It's all good baby!

 

cholesterol anyone? eggs...beef...chicken...

 

Eggs...........

 

No, ruminants host baterial colonies that turn cellulose into sugar. Cellulose is essentially a starch that is insoluable, due to the way the sugar units are linked. Certain bacteria are able to break those polymerazation bonds, making sugars. IIRC, there are three very similar compounds. Cellulose, starch and glycogen (sometimes called animal starch). They each consist (if memory serves) of three sugars linked into a polymer. The main difference between them is in the type of polymer bond. Something along the lines of a cis, trans, iso thing i think.

 

Egg white is full of protein, discard the yolk to lower cholesterol intake.

Tuna is about 25% protein. Yeast about 50% and some body builders chomp yeast tablets.

Whey is high in protein, hence the whey shake mixes available, mixed with skimmed milk these provide a low fat/cholesterol source of protein.

 

with the fish though you have to make sure it is wild, i reccomend buying alaskan wild fish for protein, because it is illegal to fish farm in alaska,

the chicken is ok but turkey has less fat, beef is good if you get prime unfatty cuts, eggs are good if you dont abuse them, and yeah take the yolks out wich was already stated,


whey protein is very good but mixes like a piece of shit with milk or water, and you cant take it on the go with you because you have to consude it within about 20 mins of assimilating, unless you buy pre packed whey protein like myoplex cartons but there very expensive,



all of these foods mentioned are good, but i was hoping somebody knew of a magical substance that was like pure protein

'Magic' protein is yeast tablets, at 50%, but if you eat a lot, you will smell funny and might get a urinary infection.

 

The amount of protein you need is around 0.6-0.8 gms per kg body weight. Anything more than that is thrown away in urine (ammonia) or used for energy (gluconeogenesis). In times of stress like surgery or body building or severe burns, we recommend an increase upto 1.2-1.5 gms per kg body weight (depending on the type of surgery or severity of burns).

In general if you go by 1 gm per kg body weight, you are pretty much covering every normal margin of error.

 

thats BS i found nothing, not a single magical food substance,

whey (supplement found in health food stores)
chicken breast
turkey breast
salmon
tuna
cottage cheese
swordfish
haddock
lean ground turkey

yeah 1 gram per kilo of body weight is a good marker to go by, so dragon you should be intaking 1820 grams of protein per,

meal,

I looked some common foods up in my nutrition almanac in approximate percentages:

Beef 15%
Chicken 19%
Cod 17%
Cheese 25%
Whole Eggs 12%
Soybeans (Tofu) 8%
Cashews 17%
Peanuts 25%
Walnuts 15%
Pumpkin Seeds 28% Wow!

Also the hay that horses eat has more protein than I thought, so they arent magically converting cellulose into amino acids.
