Evaluating Protein Sources

Looking for lean sources of protein? Worried about rising grocery bills? The table below includes calorie, fat, and cost information for different sources of protein. Each item is based on a serving that would provide 25 grams of protein. The total calories from that serving size, the percentage of fat, and the cost of that serving size are calculated. The cost is based on the price of the package size listed in the description.

For example, a 3.8 ounce portion of Ahi Tuna Steak would provide 25 grams of protein, includes 112 total calories (calories from fat, protein, and carbohydrates) and would cost $3.01. 8% of the calories in Ahi Tuna come from fat. If you are looking for high protein foods, look near the top of the list.
