A high protein diet emphasizes increased consumption of protein-rich foods to support muscle growth, repair body tissues, and promote satiety. Common sources of protein include lean meats such as chicken, turkey, and beef, as well as fish, eggs, dairy products like Greek yogurt and cheese, legumes, nuts, and protein supplements like powders or bars. This type of diet is often used by athletes, those seeking to build muscle mass, and individuals looking to manage their weight. Meals are typically structured to include a significant portion of protein alongside moderate amounts of healthy fats and lower levels of carbohydrates depending on specific dietary goals.
