8. Turkey Wing
Turkey is low in fat and high in vitamin B6, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, and iron. The wing part is specifically high in lysine. One wing or 375 grams can give 11,663 mg of lysine or 555% RDI. Other turkey meats are also good sources of lysine. Every 3 ounces of fat free ground turkey yields 115% RDI of lysine, turkey drumsticks with 117%, and turkey breast with 123%. Chicken also contains lysine. Chicken wings have 104% RDI, and chicken breast with 125% RDI also per 3 ounces.
9. Parmesan Cheese
This is not only yummy but it’s also rich in calcium, vitamin A, and sodium. It’s also high in lysine as 28 grams or an ounce of parmesan cheese will give you 926 mg of lysine or 44% RDI. Other types of cheese will also do as an ounce of Monterey cheese gives 27% RDI of lysine, hard goat’s cheese with 29%, reduced-fat mozzarella with 33%, Swiss cheese with 34%, and Romano cheese with 39%.
