Eat more Protein

Friday, August 29th, 2008

Proteins are one of the most important things to eat, either if you’r into gaining weight or loosing! Protein works as the bodies “musclebuilders” and without the right amount of protein you can’t build muscles as fast as if you eat right, get it?

Proteins are a VERY important, yet often overlooked, fat-loss nutrient. Why? Because proteins, along with resistance exercise, actually help your body change shape and become firmer and leaner. The point isn’t just to lose weight. If you focus on the scales, you’ll probably end up looking like a skinny fat person?! Your goal should be a lean, muscular body, and protein is one of the keys to making that happen.

Protein-rich food is for example;

- Egg whites or egg substitutes
- Chicken breast
- Whole turkey breast
- Lean ground turkey breast
- Extra lean beef
- Low-fat cottage cheese

- Shrimp
- Halibut
- Perch
- Salmon
- Cod

- Low-fat yogurt
- Water-packed tuna
- Orange roughy
- Soy burger patty
- Veggie lunch meat

Remember, if you want a good looking body, don’t stop eating, START EATING RIGHT!
