I find the occasional suggestion that red meat is bad a myth. What you imply by unprocessed is not clear. Properly prepared red meat is a valuable protein source used by many cultures worldwide.

Protein comes from different sources. Lentils, beans, nuts like almond, cashews, cottage cheese, eggs are good sources of protein, You can add animal protein for taste and personal choice. Hope it helps.
