In recent years, consumers are becoming more diverse when choosing foods to consume. Specifically, there is an increase around the world in the population and percentage of people who choose to consume a non-meat diet, and utilize non-meat foods as their source of protein. This research focused on comparing nutrient density, nutritional value, and cost of nutrients of meat products and non-meat foods high in protein. 25 meat products (beef, pork, lamb, and poultry), 6 fish products, and 18 non-meat foods were compared for nutrient composition. Nutrient composition information was used to assign value based on nutrient density. Nutrient cost was expressed in nutrients available per US dollar and prices were assessed from the USDA economic research service and the USDA agricultural marketing service when available, and with a marketplace assessment when information was unavailable otherwise. Energy, protein, total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, vitamin B12, sodium, phosphorus, iron, and zinc content in protein-rich foods were analyzed for nutrient density and value. Individual comparisons for the cost of nutrients was generated from this dataset that will enable further research and categorization of high protein foods.
