Nuts

Generally nuts are good source of fiber, fat, and protein. If you want to add more calcium, fat, and other healthy nutrients along with protein in your diet. Start loading up on the nuts like peanuts, almonds, cashews, hazelnuts, pistachios, and walnuts. one ounce of hazelnuts, almonds, and pistachios alone contain 6 grams of protein. Each nut lowers your cholesterol and makes you feel full for a longer time. Also nuts like walnuts and hazelnuts boost digestive health which is essential for extensive training and workouts.

Legumes
