Skip the Powder! Get Your Protein from Farm-Fresh Meat

Whether you're training for a 5K, busy with wheat harvest, or powering through a busy workday, one thing is certain: your body needs protein. But why settle for chalky shakes or spoonfuls of peanut butter when you can enjoy a tastier, more natural option? At ChopLocal, we believe the best way to fuel your body is with farm-fresh, locally raised meat.

Complete vs. Incomplete Proteins — What's the Difference?

Protein is made up of amino acids, with nine considered essential because your body can’t produce them on its own. You must get them through your diet.

Animal-based foods like meat, eggs, and dairy provide complete proteins, offering all nine essential amino acids in the right ratios. In contrast, plant-based foods such as beans, nuts, and grains are incomplete proteins because they lack one or more of the essential amino acids, requiring you to combine different foods to make a complete protein.

Choosing meat as your protein source eliminates the guesswork. It’s naturally complete, easy for your body to absorb, and packed with essential nutrients like iron, zinc, and B vitamins. That’s why ChopLocal’s farm-fresh meat isn’t just a convenient choice — it’s the nutritionally superior option.

How Much Protein Do You Actually Need?

Protein needs vary based on age, weight, and activity level. However, a good general guideline is:

• Women: 46 grams per day
  
  
• Men: 56 grams per day
  
  

Just 3 ounces of beef delivers 25+ grams of protein — enough to power through your afternoon slump or aid in post-workout recovery. Bonus: it actually tastes like food.

Why Choose Meat Over Powder?

Let’s be honest — most protein powders taste... suspicious. Even the "triple chocolate" varieties end up gritty and artificial. And while peanut butter is great on toast, it’s not always the most convenient or filling option.

On the other hand, beef, pork, chicken, and other meats offer complete, high-quality protein that’s packed with essential nutrients like iron, zinc, and B vitamins — without any weird additives.

When you choose farm-fresh meat, you’re getting protein that’s easy to digest and packed with nutrients your body actually uses — no mystery blends or synthetic additives required.

How Meat Stacks Up Per 3-Ounce Cooked Serving:

• Beef: 26g protein
  
  
• Pork: 24g protein
  
  
• Chicken: 25g protein
  
  
• Lamb: 23g protein
  
  
• Bison: 22g protein
  
  

One serving, like a chicken breast or burger patty, can provide nearly half of your daily protein needs. No scooping. No blending. Just real, tasty food that fuels your body.
