It still deserves a top spot in your pantry: It packs five grams of fiber per cup, and is a plant-based complete protein. Pair it with other protein sources to get the most out of it, like in a hearty bean stew, or as the base for soaking up a rich sauce from a flavorful tofu or tempeh stir-fry.

5. Eggs

When we think of classic primary sources, the list goes: meat, fish, dairy, and eggs. And eggs are definitely a valuable and complete protein source, but it’s important to keep in mind that you’re only getting six grams from each one, Harbstreet says. To put that in perspective, you’d need to eat three to surpass the protein recommendation per meal.

It’s tempting to crack open a hard-boiled egg for breakfast and move on with your morning, especially if you’re tight on time, but doing so will probably leave you hungry for more sooner than you’d like. That doesn’t mean that you have to forgo them, though. Instead, keep them handy for high-protein snacking, or pair them with another protein source for a complete meal. That could be two scrambled eggs with a quarter cup of Greek yogurt—which will add a couple grams and make them fluffier. Or add a poached egg to a salad that also has edamame, cheese, and beans, three other protein-rich ingredients.

6. Chickpeas

We at SELF are famous fans of chickpeas, mainly for their high-fiber content and the fact that they’re endlessly versatile. That being said, their protein content leaves a little to be desired—you’ll get just seven grams of the stuff from a half-cup serving, says Peruvemba.

Again, the trick to reaping the protein benefits of an ingredient like this is to pair it with other protein-rich food for a fully satisfying meal, or enjoy it solo but in snack form. Peruvemba’s partial to hummus with chips or veggies. Pairing it with a cup of quinoa, plus spices and veggies, will also put you firmly over the 15-gram protein mark.

7. Yogurt

Yogurt can be a good source of protein, but it depends on which one you choose, says Peruvemba. For instance, plain, traditional yogurt contains just under six grams per six ounce serving, while you’ll get 17 grams or more than double from the same amount of Greek yogurt.
