Good Proteins

Proteins are the most essential part of a strength training diet, because your body converts these amino acids into building blocks for muscles. However, proteins can also help you lose fat, and stay healthy. This list will show you the benefits of the best protein foods out there.

Seafood (Fish, Shrimp etc)
Why?- An excellent source of protein, as well as some unsaturated fats in the form of oils. Unlike Steak and other fatty meats, fish strays from the unhealthy fats, and gives you what you want: protein.

White Chicken
Why?- Why should I eat white meat when dark meat is so much tastier? Because that taste comes at a cost of high saturated fat. White meat is relatively low, but remove the skin before cooking and eating, because the skin contains unecessary saturated fats.

Eggs
Why?- Eggs are like protein in a shell. They contain all the amino acids our body needs , so theoretically, we could just eat eggs to get all our proteins. Also, as a side benefit, eggs are one of the few foods that supply us with vitamin D.

Soy
Why?- Soy products like tofu have relatively high amounts of protein with low fat.

Beans
Why?- 6 ounces of steak is equivalent in protein to a cup of beans. Fiber included. Fat sold seperately.

Milk
Why?- Choose low fat or 1%, but otherwise milk is an excellent source of protein, as well as calcium. Drink milk with other protein products to get maximum effiency.
