How to Eat More Protein

如何攝取更多蛋白質


Introduction

This report talks about healthy foods with protein. It shows which foods are good for your body.

本報告將介紹含有蛋白質的健康食物,並說明哪些食物對身體有益。

Main Body

Eat natural foods like chicken, beans, soy, and milk. These foods make you feel full. They are better than protein powder because they have more vitamins.

食用天然食物,例如雞肉、豆類、大豆和牛奶。這些食物能增加飽足感。它們比蛋白質粉更好,因為含有更多維生素。

Do not fry your food. Bake or steam your food instead. For example, bake chicken with Greek yoghurt. This way, the food has less fat and more protein.

不要將食物油炸,改用烘烤或蒸煮。例如,用希臘優格烘烤雞肉。這樣食物的脂肪較少,蛋白質較多。

Some 'healthy' foods are not actually good. Peanut butter has fat, but it does not have much protein. Brown bread has the same calories as white bread. Some muesli has too much sugar.

有些所謂的「健康」食物其實並不理想。花生醬含有脂肪,但蛋白質含量不高。全麥麵包的熱量與白麵包相同。某些燕麥片含糖量過高。

Conclusion

Eat whole foods for protein. Do not trust labels that only say 'healthy'.

攝取完整天然食物以獲取蛋白質。不要盲目相信僅標記為「健康」的標籤。

💡 The "Better Than" Pattern

In the text, the author says: "They are better than protein powder."

When you want to compare two things and say one is higher quality, use this simple map:

[Thing A] + are/is + better than + [Thing B]

Examples from the text & life:

  • Natural foods → better than → protein powder.
  • Steaming → better than → frying.
  • Water → better than → soda.

To give a strong warning or a rule, start your sentence with Do not (or Don't). It is the fastest way to tell someone a mistake.

  • Do not fry your food.
  • Do not trust labels.
