Emu
Like the Ostrich, this flightless bird has less fat than the usual meat selections and is extremely high in protein. The oil derived from it’s fat contains many nutrients as well and is widely considered to be the best meat based protein source for athletes. The only draw back is that average poundage of meat that can be taken from the bird is a mere 30 pounds compared to a cow’s 550 pounds.
Protein = 8 grams per ounce
