Eating 101 with Ronald Lelko: Part 2 Protein
Protein
I get asked many times over and over the questions, what type of food is a protein and what is better organic vs. non-organic. Many people make eating too complicated, when it is very easy.
My simple response to the question, what type of food is a protein, would be anything that has eyes provides a high quality protein. These eyes proteins consist of beef, pork, fish(any kind), chicken, turkey, eggs, and milk. Another great source of protein can come from plants. These protein items consist of nuts and beans. Eating a variety of protein from the eyes and plants is a great way to have balance.
As far as organic vs. non-organic, organic is the best if it is truly organic, but there is nothing wrong with non-organic foods. People are finding that the restriction on organic foods are not closely monitored and that there are no nutritional differences between the two. You can not go wrong eating organic or n0n-organic.
Lastly, do not make eating complex. At every meal have a fist full of protein from the eye or plant source. Remember KISS (Keep It Stupid Simple). See my next post on how much protein to eat.
