Which Protein is best and healthiest?

One of the most important things we need in our diet is Protein. It is needed for skin, muscles, glands and organs. We also need protein to help our body repair cells and make new ones. Without it in our diet, we could not survive.

The most healthiest form of protein comes from Fish, Beans, Eggs, Dairy and Nuts. Even though Beef, Chicken, Turkey, and Pork are other forms of protein, I do not think they are the healthiest due to the saturated fat content and other additives that contibute to their processing.

Here is a list of proteins in foods that I found from Wikipedia. I have started with the highest containing foods to the lowest.

Fish
•Most fish fillets or steaks are about 22 grams of protein for 3 ½ oz (100 grams) of cooked fish, or 6 grams per ounce
•Tuna, 6 oz can - 40 grams of protein

•Tofu, ½ cup 20 grams protein
•Soy milk, 1 cup - 6 -10 grams
•Most beans (black, pinto, lentils, etc) about 7-10 grams protein per half cup of cooked beans
•Soy beans, ½ cup cooked – 14 grams protein
