Protein Rich Food #9: Shrimp
The body and tails of a shrimp are very muscular, which also makes them perfectly packed packages of protein. In fact, protein in shrimp can account for as much as 90% of the calories making it among the highest protein providers of all. In addition, they are packed with vitamin B12 and omega 3 fatty acids that provide various health benefits.
In addition to being jam-packed with protein and other nutrition, shrimp is also low in fat and calories. A serving of around 3 ounces will contain only around 84 calories, making it ideal for people on weight loss diets, provided it is not fried.
