What are the best meat proteins for the HCG Diet Plan?
Protein is essential to your eating plan when doing the HCG Plan. Here are some meat proteins that we recommend.
Venison
Although considered red meat, venison animals are highly active, so their meat has very little fat.
With a 6 oz serving to give you 51 grams of protein, venison is one of the leanest proteins.
Chicken
The most basic and cheap of all the lean protein sources. This white meat is an incredible source of lean protein and helps keep you fuller for longer.
Although it can be bland sometimes, try adding some flavour without adding a lot of calories or sodium by grilling with peppers and onions.
With 50 grams of protein per 6 oz serving, chicken needs to become your best friend when prepping your meals.
Ostrich
For some, the ostrich will take some getting used to, but it can be something you crave from time to time when cooked correctly. Very lean meat and at 48 grams of protein, the ostrich will be an excellent release to the mundane life of just chicken.
Beef Tenderloin
Beef and red meat, in general, are something that most health-conscious folks usually try to steer clear of due to their high-fat content.
But they don’t know how lean they can get some forms of red meat (i.e. Beef Tenderloin).
The tenderloin is one of the leanest parts of the cow since it’s getting more work than other parts of the animal.
Eating a version of red meat is also very high in iron, a crucial micro-nutrient that explodes muscle growth.
When the fat is trimmed well by the butcher, a 6 oz tenderloin can give you 52 grams of protein. Remember, though, we recommend only having this a maximum of twice weekly.
