What are the best sources of Protein?

To many, the term “Best” is subjective and based on many factors, including price, availability, quality, consistency, and flavor just to name a few. So what is the best source of Protein?  As you can probably guess, that varies.  For example, one person can think Whey Protein tastes delicious, while another can’t muster the flavor; or take into consideration that what is expensive to one individual may be considered affordable to another, etc.

However, one objective measure that no one can dispute is a Protein’s quality as determined under the FDA’s PDCAAS (Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score) method. So, to answer this question, we reviewed the following PDCAAS ratings of selected foods we typically eat for their Protein content:

Food Item	PDCAAS Score
John’s Killer Protein – Premium Whey Protein	1.00 (Highest)
John’s Killer Protein – Nighttime Blend	1.00 (Highest)
Whole Egg	0.97
Soy Protein	0.96
1% Milk	0.94
Beef	0.92
Fish	0.92
Chicken	0.91
Canned Tuna	0.90
Sacha Inchi Powder	0.87
Black Beans	0.75
Cooked Oatmeal	0.57
Peanuts (Peanut Butter)	0.52
Rice (Rice Protein)	0.47
Whole Wheat	0.42 (Lowest)

At John’s Killer Protein, we believe one of the best source of protein is a high-quality Whey Protein Blend.  We strictly use a Whey Protein and Milk Protein Concentrates throughout our product lines, and formulate our Milk Protein in our Nighttime Blend product to contain a PDCAAS score of 1.00, the highest score possible. Our ingredients are minimally processed and micro-filtered to maintain optimal nutritional values and a complete amino acid profile.  We’ve even developed a powerful Protein Calculator you can use to figure out exactly how much Protein you need per day.  All fully customizable based on your unique input, fitness activities, and overall goals!
