4 Best Whole Foods for Building Muscle or Who Needs Protein Powder
35 years ago when I read my first muscle mag, it was about 95% articles on getting big and contest results. It was maybe 5% advertisement. Or it seemed that way to me. Pick up one now; it is almost the reverse, nothing but advertisements for stuff that is going to make you bigger than Godzilla.
And there must be 2 dozen or more ads on protein powder this and protein powder that. Well, before you go spending all your hard earned cash on that tub of Myo-whatever, consider what nature has to offer.
1. Chicken: 3.5 oz serving has about 30 grams of protein. A Protein Drink with 20 to 30 grams of whey and soy can run you anywhere from 3 dollars to 5 dollars. A great piece of tasty chicken breast that weighs less than 4 oz will run you about a buck fifty or less at your local supermarket.
2. Whole eggs: Yes, there is the issue of cholesterol in the yolk, but for protein value; you just cannot beat a whole egg. That little beauty will give 6 to 7 grams of high octane protein at a cost of about 28 cents (we get brown, organic, blah, blah eggs that are too expensive , what the wife wants), but you can get it cheaper.
3. Whole milk: Where you do think whey comes from? You cannot beat this bounty from nature for adding muscle mass and building strength. A cold, 8 oz glass yields about 8 grams, or a 16 oz glass will give you 16 grams of muscle building fuel at a cost of about 50 cents, maybe less in your area.
4. Almonds and peanuts: A quarter cup of each will yield about 8 to 9 grams. If you eat a mix cup of both throughout the day, you will give yourself 32 to 36 grams of protein, plus the natural energy boost from those nuts. This is another cheap source of protein that you can use to reach your fitness goals.
5. Honorable mentions: A can of tuna gives you great bang for buck at 40 grams a can. Mix it with a little bit of mayo, one hardboiled egg, a quarter cup of chopped bell peppers, carrots, onions; and you can have yourself a tasty protein sandwich. Now and then, fire up that grill and have some red meat, because a 6 oz steak has nearly 40 grams of protein.
There you have it, my top 4 foods for building muscle plus a couple of honorable mentions. So, next time you reach for that can of protein powder; take your one hand and slap with the other before heading over to your local supermarket for the best muscle building foods nature has to offer.
