Below is a list of some protein-dense foods, in order from most to least amount of protein by weight. It is to be noted that not all protein is equally digestible. Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS) is a method of evaluating the protein quality based on the amino acid requirements of humans. A list of protein-dense foods ranked according to total protein availability to the human body would be very different.
