The expert exclusively shared eight of the best animal-based sources of protein that slimmers should consider adding to their diet plan.

Best foods for weight loss

Chicken breast: "Lean and versatile, chicken breast is a staple protein source that is rich in all essential amino acids."

Turkey: "Similar to chicken, turkey provides a high-quality protein that supports muscle growth and repair."

Eggs: "Known as a perfect protein, eggs offer all essential amino acids and are highly digestible."

Salmon: "This fatty fish is not only high in protein but also provides omega-3 fatty acids, which have anti-inflammatory properties."

Greek yoghurt: "A dairy product that is rich in protein and probiotics, promoting both muscle health and digestive health."

Lean beef: "Packed with protein, lean beef is also a great source of iron and vitamin B12."

Pork tenderloin: "A lean cut of pork that provides a complete amino acid profile."

Cottage cheese: "Offers slow-digesting casein protein, making it a good option for sustained amino acid release."

Whey protein: "Derived from milk, whey protein is easily digestible and highly effective for post-workout recovery. Whey protein is also incredibly versatile and can be used across a range of recipes.

"One of the most important considerations for whey protein is its cost-effectiveness and energy efficiency. Around 30g of protein from whey protein powder would be around 30p to 50p per serving and around 110 to 130 calories whereas, if you were to compare it to a chicken breast, that would be £2 to £3 a serving and at least double the calorie intake.

"Not that one is necessarily better than the other of course, but it makes whey protein a really useful addition to anyone's cupboards."

Those who prefer to go dairy-free can also enjoy protein powders such as Myvegan's new Plant Based Superblend Range that includes Clear Protein Superblend and the Plant Protein Superblend, made from upcycled barley.

This comes as a woman shared the three meals that helped her lose 11 stone.
