Greek Yogurt

Greek yogurt provides 17g of protein per 170g serving (in nonfat varieties), combining casein (80%) and whey (20%) for both immediate and timed amino acid delivery—a 30% longer absorption window than chicken breast (#3). The 1.5g of leucine per serving rivals whole eggs (#1), while probiotics like Lactobacillus bulgaricus support gut health, enhancing nutrient absorption by 15% in clinical trials. At 100 calories per serving, it offers a lower-calorie alternative to salmon (#2) with comparable protein density and added digestive benefits.
