Hi,
As everyone knows that Protein is a nutrient that is needed daily by the body. These nutrients are essential for health and must be provided in the foods eaten.

To give you an idea of the amount of protein you can find in certain foods, check out the following list:

* 1 cup milk…8 grams
* 1 ounce cheese…7 grams
* 1 ounce meat…7 grams
* 1 egg…6 grams
* ½ cup legumes…7 grams
* 2 tablespoons peanut butter…8 grams
* ¼ cup nuts…6 grams
* ½ cup cooked non-starchy vegetable…2 grams
* 1 serving of grain (1 slice bread, ½ bun, 1 c. dry cereal, 1 small muffin)…3 grams

The power of protein is easy to achieve. Obviously, with the great availability of animal foods and nutritious grains and vegetables, most of us have little trouble meeting and probably exceeding our protein needs.
