Although nuts are not a primary source of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realsimple.com\/high-protein-snacks-keep-you-energized-longer-than-granola-bar-11761162\" data-component=\"link\" data-source=\"inlineLink\" data-type=\"internalLink\" data-ordinal=\"1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">protein<\/a>, they do contain a solid amount of the macronutrient. And if you want to maximize your protein consumption, you might be wondering which one has the most protein?\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_3-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Any guesses? The answer is peanuts. Although many think of peanuts as a tree nut, they are technically a legume. A \u00bc-cup serving of peanuts contains roughly 11 grams of protein, four grams of fiber, and 21 grams of fat. Fun fact: Due to its high protein content, peanuts were used to create <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realsimple.com\/food-recipes\/browse-all-recipes\/peanut-butter-ramen-recipe\" data-component=\"link\" data-source=\"inlineLink\" data-type=\"internalLink\" data-ordinal=\"1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">peanut butter<\/a> as a soft food source for people with poor dental health.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_5-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> In addition to protein, peanuts are rich in vitamins and minerals, including niacin, vitamin E, and folate. Niacin is important for maintaining a healthy digestive system, vitamin E may protect against coronary heart disease, and folate is particularly important for infants and people who are pregnant.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_7-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> If we\u2019re being technical, almonds are the tree nut with the most protein at 10 grams of protein and 313 calories per \u00bc-cup serving. (You\u2019ll also get five grams of fiber.)\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_9-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> The amount of protein you need to eat in a day depends on your daily caloric needs. According to the National Library of Medicine, the daily recommended intake of protein for healthy adults is between 10 to 35% of your total calorie needs. When looking for protein-rich foods, a one-ounce serving should contain roughly seven grams of protein. And a well-rounded diet will include a variety of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realsimple.com\/complete-protein-foods-6891861\" data-component=\"link\" data-source=\"inlineLink\" data-type=\"internalLink\" data-ordinal=\"1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">protein-rich sources<\/a>, such as lean meats, poultry, eggs, and seafood (for people who eat animal products and fish), along with beans, peas, lentils, nuts, seeds, and soy products.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For people without allergies, eating nuts can have loads of benefits, including packing nutrients like healthy fats and&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":94734,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[210,1182,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-94733","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nutrition","8":"tag-health","9":"tag-nutrition","10":"tag-united-states","11":"tag-unitedstates","12":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114920966533339841","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94733","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=94733"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94733\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/94734"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=94733"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=94733"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=94733"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
