What part of meat is protein?

I know it sounds like a dumb question but what I really mean is, is the majority of the protein in the juices or the fiberous meat?  I ask this because I simply can not tolerate meat but I can chew it up and spit out the fiberous part.  Am I doing any good by swallowing juices??

I was sure it is the muscle of the actual fiberous part so I looked up something (below)   Just showing this as all 3 oz portions, I'm 99.9 % confident it is the actual muscle itself.    Plenty of other protein choices rather than mean of any type of you don't like it / can't stand it!!    


Beef (3 oz portion) Protein (g)
Beef, blade roast, lean only, braised 26.4g
Beef, ground, 75 percent lean, patty, broiled 21.73g
Beef, ground, 85 percent lean, patty, broiled 22.04g
Beef, rib, lean only, roasted 23.16g
Beef, bottom round, lean only, braised 26.85g
Beef, top sirloin, lean only, broiled 25.81g
Beef, steak, rump 18.48g
Beef, corned, canned 23.05g

I doubt the juice has much protein.  If you can't tolerate meat, why don't you eat something else?  I haven't had meat in over 25 years.  I eat stuff like Greek yogurt, ricotta cheese, eggs, all kinds of cheeses, all kinds of beans, veggie burgers, Morningtar Farms fake meat products, milk, protein shakes, occassionally cottage cheese or tofu.

Sorry but spitting out meat is disrespectful. Stick with the fish or eggs.

 It is the muscle that is the protein. I would try non-animal type proteins if you can't tolerate the meat. Good luck.

Meat is all protein, except for the part that may contain some fat. But you do actually have to eat it. Very little to none in just the juices.

The juices are the fat from the meat, so you're just sucking the fat out and throwing away the protein.  I also recommend to stop the chew/spit idea.  There are eating disorders wrapped all around that and it actually does physical damage because your chewing is making acids come up to break down the food, then taking away the food leaves them nothing to attack but your digestive tract.
