1.Dairy (most stable amino acid profile,good absorption,high leucine,good for sleep cause of tryptophan)


2.Eggs (Highest absorption,stable amino acid profile but slightly higher in methionine,micronutrient dense)


3.Fish and other seafood (lower fat depending on fish,balanced and adequate DHA and EPA,solid amino acid profile,nutrient dense)



4.Red Meat (heavily carried by micronutrients,solid amino acid in normal amounts but unstable in majority cause of sulfur amino acids)


5. Chicken (Not bad,micronutrient wise less abundant with a similar amino acid profile as red meat but just a small bit better)


6. Entire plant proteins (Also not necessarily bad,just amino acid profiles vary and they tend to be low in leucine)


7. So called “incomplete proteins” (not necessarily proteins but isolated amino acids,which are also utilized,yet I don’t think you should rely on them and those should just contribute mildy)




Subhuman protein sources: Whey/Whey isolate, any refined product labeled “high protein” WILL inflame you.

Shrimp is one of my favorite protein sources that you can eat as much as you want without worrying about calories or macronurtient imbalance,I love it. Salmon (in my opinion) like 1-2x per week is good.

Lots of “protein products” such as the powder for example,can be high in histidine,cysteine,methionine and other sulfur inflammatory amino acids in excess. Milk and dairy has the best anabolic amino acid profile with the least inflammatory properties unless paired with other factors.
