Protein
Proteins are the building blocks of our muscles. Without a sufficient amount of protein in our diet, our muscles will not have the raw materials that they need to build up, or even hang on to what is already there.
Net protein utilization: Not all protein is created equal. Different foods are absorbed more than others. For example, egg white protein is absorbed at 88%. That means we get about 9 eggs to our muscles. On the other hand, chicken breast are absorbed at 68%, meaning we get about 7 breasts to our muscles. It is imported to eat a wide verity of protein foods though; no one protein source has all the amino acids we need.
? Whey protein (100%): the best source of whey protein is from protein supplements. It is also absorbed very fast by the body, so it is best to take this when your body needs amino acids quickly: like right after a workout or when you first get up in the morning.
? Egg whites (88%)
? Fish (78%)
? Chicken breast (78%)
? Soy protein: My one bit of advice would be to try and stay away from soy protein. It is not absorbed very well by the body.
Eggs, Peanuts, cashews, cheese, etc etc
Tofu, beans and legumes, whole grains especially quinoa, cheese has a good amount of protein, nuts and nut butters (peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter, etc), almond and soy milks, and eggs if you eat them.
Cheese and other milk products are also high in protein as are eggs. Nuts and also legumes such as beans, peas, lentils and chick peas have some components of protein but are best consumed in pairs, such as lentils with (brown) rice, chick peas with Tahini (sesame seed paste) or beans with cheese or wholewheat tortillas or chapatis, to make a complete protein that your body can use.
