When you think of eating protein<\/a> and fiber, there’s a good chance different foods\u2014like meat and produce\u2014come to mind. But if you’d like to fuel up on both nutrients in a single bite, there are number of high-protein, high-fiber foods that are widely available.\n<\/p>\n

On their own, protein and fiber are essential for overall health. Protein is a macronutrient, meaning the body needs it in large amounts. It also supports satiety and maintains muscle mass, especially as we get older. Similarly, fiber<\/a> promotes satiety and fullness, as well as digestive health and regularity.\u00a0Eating protein and fiber together will help get the most out of your meal, as you’ll be able to reap the benefits of both nutrients. Plus, protein sources that are also high in fiber tend to be leaner in fat, making them a mindful and healthy choice. Try eating these high-protein, high-fiber foods, as recommended by nutrition experts.\n<\/p>\n

Tempeh is a fermented soybean cake that’s high in protein<\/a> and fiber. One cup contains approximately 17 grams of protein and 5 to 7 grams of fiber, depending on how the tempeh is made, says Giana DiMaria, MS, RD, CDN, CNSC, CCMS, registered dietitian at New York Medical College. This fiber content is higher than that of tofu, as it’s made from the whole bean rather than soybean milk. “Tempeh is also sometimes made with brown rice or other grains, which further increases the amount of fiber,” says DiMaria.\n<\/p>\n

As a fermented product, tempeh contains probiotics, or beneficial bacteria for the gut. According to DiMaria, the fermentation process also contributes to its prebiotic fiber content, which “feeds” good gut bacteria.\n<\/p>\n
