What foods are high in protein?

I’m trying to train I used to take boxing classes but something came up and I haven’t gone in like a month and I don’t think Im going back anytime soon so I’m training at home I have most of the necessary equipment I just want to know what kind of foods I should be eating. I’m not wight lifting because I’m sixteen so I don’t want to stunt my growth in any way so Im just trying to gain some muscle using boxing training.

Toning your muscles as a kid is okay- just don’t over do it. Your growth plates have probably done at least the majority of their growing- just don’t become a meat-head, and weight lift in moderation. As far as muscle mass is concerned- you need to work your muscles before the protein will do anything. Here are how your muscles work: You put holes in your muscle by using them and after a day or two, they finish repairing those holes and tears, but they come back bigger and stronger. Just eating protein will not effectively give you muscle mass without pitting or "damaging" them.
As far as foods high in protein- meats (of course), beans, peanut butter, eggs, seafood, and dairy.

    Well, there are some great hi-protein drinks. I personally love Bolthouse Farms Mocha Cappuccino drink…. it’s divine and loaded with protein. (tastes just like a frappucino from Starbucks) As far as foods, you’ll get a really high amount of protein in a single serving of cottage cheese. And, of course, lean meat. Also cheese, yogurt. And milk, eggs.
