Good Eats

I will be doing a bigger post on nutrition later but for now here is a guide to food that have good protein content, remember protein is needed for adding muscle and keeps you feeling full so this will come in handy whatever your goal.
  • Chicken is an epic source of protein, just avoid having it deep fried or battered. Go for chicken breast or breaded chicken.
  • Eggs in its many shapes are forms are all good, frying is ok if you have some good oil to do it in. Extra virgin olive oil and sesame seed oil are fine along with that heavy anti stick spray stuff which says its 1 cal per spray. Most people only have egg whites and leave the yolk as its more Cals. Keep in mind that you need a little bit of Cals for the protein to attach itself to and allow the circulate through your system, so just use the yolk.
  • Cottage cheese is good if you like it that is. Personally I cannot stand it! It tastes like its trying to be a yoghurt but never really got there.
  • Peanut butter, love it! The best tasting peanut butter and the best for you that I have had is, Whole Earth Crunchy Original. 
  • Greek yoghurt, love these as well. The best brand I have had has to be, Rachel's Greek Style Yoghurt. 
This is all I can think of at the moment, I am sure there are loads more.
