High-protein foods

2,373 foods

Foods where protein is a major share of the energy. Protein does not raise blood sugar directly and slows the glucose response of a mixed meal. Every food on this list is ranked by its glycemic load per 100 g, lowest first, so the best choices for blood sugar come first. Open a food for the portion-based load, nutrition facts and alternatives.
