1. Lean chicken
You’ve probably noticed that all the bodybuilders are eating lean chicken with plain rice. And they eat a lot of it. In some videos you can find on the internet, you can see them eating five chicken breasts in one sitting.
But have you ever wondered why they do that? The answer is quite simple: they eat it because lean chicken is one of the perfect protein sources. All the necessary amino acids that the body requires for muscle development, repair, and maintenance are present in chicken meat.
In terms of protein, chicken contains 31 grams in 3.5 ounces. This is a lot if you compare it with other popular foods. If you choose to eat chicken in order to add more protein to your diet, always choose lean chicken, such as breasts, remove the skin, and cook it using a method that reduces the quantity of added fats, such as oil.
