Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A 4-ounce broiled sirloin steak is a great source of protein-about 33 grams worth.
Detailed explanation-2: -Meat is a very efficient deliverer of protein. Because the muscles of animals and humans share the same components, eating animal tissue is an easy way to get this necessary nutrient. Proteins are made up of amino acids. Amino acids determine the structure and function of proteins.
Detailed explanation-3: -Animal-based foods; for example, meat, poultry, fish, milk, eggs, and cheese are considered complete protein sources. An incomplete protein source is one that is low in one or more of the essential amino acids.
