A common theme right now is the "30 gram cheat sheet" as ...

30 grams of protein cheat sheet:

1 1/2 cups Greek yogurt
1 cup tempeh
5 oz shrimp (about 10 large shrimp)
1 cup cottage cheese
4 oz chicken (about half of a chicken breast)
5 oz grass-fed steak (slightly larger than a deck of cards)
1 1/2 cups tofu
2 cups black beans
5 oz wild-caught salmon (about one fillet)
5 eggs

But do these protein foods have the right balance of essential amino acids as leucine to stimulate muscle protein synthesis?

Let's go down a new rabbit hole!

Leucine is an essential amino acid that plays a crucial role in stimulating muscle protein synthesis.

1 1/2 cups Greek yogurt: Yes, Greek yogurt typically contains around 2.5-3 grams of leucine per serving.
1 cup tempeh: Yes, tempeh usually contains around 2.5-3 grams of leucine per cup.
5 oz shrimp: Yes, shrimp contains around 2.5-3 grams of leucine per 5 oz serving.
1 cup cottage cheese: Yes, cottage cheese generally contains around 2.5-3 grams of leucine per cup.
4 oz chicken: Yes, chicken breast usually contains around 2.5-3 grams of leucine per 4 oz serving.
5 oz grass-fed steak: Yes, steak typically contains around 2.5-3 grams of leucine per 5 oz serving.
1 1/2 cups tofu: Yes, tofu usually contains around 2.5-3 grams of leucine per 1 1/2 cup serving.
2 cups black beans: No, black beans do not typically contain enough leucine to meet the 2.5-3 gram threshold. They contain around 1.8 grams of leucine per cup.
5 oz wild-caught salmon: Yes, salmon typically contains around 2.5-3 grams of leucine per 5 oz serving.
5 eggs: Yes, eggs usually contain around 2.5-3 grams of leucine per 5 egg serving.
