In response to: "What kind of food gives you the most protein?"

Well.. there are 2 types of protein out there; animal based protein and plant based protein.  These protein sources can be complete or incomplete.  Eggs are considered the gold standard for protein content.  They are a complete source of protein, and low in calories.  Other good sources of protein include lean cuts of meat (like skinless chicken breast or beef with a low amount of marbling).  Also, dairy products provide a lot of protein per serving (fat free or low fat cheeses, yogurts, and milk).
