5 protein-filled dishes every woman should include in her daily diet

Protein is no doubt one of the most essential food nutrients which the body needs for a variety of functions.

Between the role it plays in the structure of red blood cells, repair of body tissue and regulation of enzymes/hormones, women need a healthy dose of proteins to maintain a healthy balance.

While protein can be found in several dishes, it's important to take in the right source as this affects the quality and availability of the nutrients.

To this end, here are 5 great protein-filled dishes every woman should include in her diet.

1. Nutritional yeast: A form of deactivated yeast, this is rich in vitamin B12 or cobalamin, which is an essential vitamin that is necessary for brain and nervous system health, and the formation of red blood cells. Nutritional Yeast can be added to many recipes and sauces giving them a cheesy consistency and flavor.

2. Lentil: According to dietitians, when lentils are cooked with brown rice, they fulfill the complete protein requirements as rice provides the amino acids that are missing.

3. Eggs: Unarguably one of the most protein-rich  foods, eggs are  rich in antioxidants, healthy fats, and vitamins.

4. Salmon: This great tasting fish is rich in omega 3 and contains all essential amino acids.

5. Chicken/Turkey: Both referred to as white meat, chicken is a high source of protein and low in saturated fats. Turkey is also a complete protein and contains high levels of potassium and phosphorous.
