Protein

Protein helps maintain lean muscle mass and provides energy for your body to build and repair your muscles, bones, and tissues. To get the most out of protein, it is important to know which proteins are beneficial to your body.

Beef: Look for grass fed or free range beef. This type of beef comes from a smaller, leaner cow that feeds on high protein grasses like alfalfa and rye. This cows beef is lower in cholesterol and fat. This cow exercises it roams the range and eats when its hungry. Avoid corn fed or aged beef with high marbling or fat. While it may be extra tasty it's loaded with fat and cholesterol.

Chicken: Eat free range birds that are hormone and chemical free. Avoid birds that have been  confined to a cage, injected with hormones, and forced fed to fatten them up. Try to eat white meat chicken like skinless chicken breast.

Fish:Eat the freshest most natural fish available.If these are farm raised (not pound raised)  they are raised in a more natural habitat, which allows for a constant flow of water and a natural diet.  Avoid pond raised fish. These types of hatcheries tend to be full of algae and bacteria. Artificial colouring and preservatives  are sometimes added to make these fish more visually appealing.
