The right protein for Muscle Building.

We all know that protein builds muscle and repairs damaged cells, but not all protein is created equal just like any other food.

Again, this is why it is not smart to count "calories," because some food has the same amount of "calories" on the label but may be packed with high fructose corn syrup, or other bio-engineered chemicals that can be very harmful to you your health and well-being, AND can stifle your athletic performance.

NOW, in my opinion, most if not all of the protein you consume should come from the things you EAT and not supplements. I am not ruling out supplements, and I'll go over them in a little bit, but it is healthier to be able to "chew" your protein sources.

Healthy Protein Sources:
-Chicken
-Turkey
-Eggs/Egg whites/Hard Boiled eggs
-Nuts
-Skim, 2%, whole milk
-Almond Milk
-LEAN steak
-Salmon
-Tuna
-Tilapia
-Organic Peanut Butter. (Keep the sugar content as low as possible)
-Tofu
-Any kind of Beans

Protein Sources to stay away from:
-Bacon
-Low grade beef
-fast food
-too much cheese
-fatty cuts of meat
-deep fried meats or cheeses
-Meat from Chinese take-out restaurants (it's usually covered in sauces high in processed sugars and sodium)
-Reese's cups
-milk shakes

These are my suggestions for building muscle in the healthiest way possible. Coming soon, I will go over protein supplements.
