  In our quest to incorporate more protein into our diets for muscle recovery or satiety, it's crucial to distinguish between foods that are perceived to be high in protein and those that actually are.

The article from MSN discusses ten foods that are commonly thought to be high in protein but actually contain less protein than many people assume. It highlights that while these foods do offer some protein, they are often overshadowed by other nutritional aspects or are not as protein-dense as alternatives like meat, fish, or certain legumes. Foods like quinoa, which contains about 8 grams of protein per cooked cup, and Greek yogurt, with around 10 grams per serving, are mentioned as examples where the protein content might be overestimated. The article also points out that nuts and seeds, although nutritious, provide protein in smaller quantities than expected, with almonds offering about 6 grams per ounce. Additionally, it notes that while these foods can contribute to daily protein intake, they should not be relied upon as primary protein sources, especially for those with high protein dietary needs. The piece encourages a balanced diet and understanding of food labels to better manage protein intake.
