Why do you need a list of muscle-building foods? “Because you just can’t eat another boneless, skinless chicken breast with brown rice,” says Men’s Health magazine. Here are some suggestions:
Goat. “Pound for pound, goat has less than half the calories of porterhouse steak, and a few more grams of protein.”
Persimmons. “This sweet Asian fruit is a better source of vitamin C than your average apple.”
Prunes. “Okay. Laugh. But they have high levels of antioxidants, and damaging oxidative stress is often a result of heavy exercise … So eat up.”
Edam cheese. “This Dutch cheese is semifirm, unlike the semisoft Muenster, and has more protein, fewer calories, and a richer, nuttier flavor.”
