What kind of meat to choose for muscle building
Among the foods for the muscle-building stage, meat foods should account for a larger proportion. However, one problem encountered is that after some bodybuilders eat a large amount of meat, the muscle-building effect is not very obvious, and the fat content will actually increase. This is where choosing the type and amount of meat comes into play.
We all know that to build muscle, we must eat more protein-containing foods. Protein is divided into animal protein and plant protein. The intake of animal protein should be greater than the intake of plant protein. Foods containing animal protein are mainly white meat foods. Including chicken and fish. They are high in protein and relatively low in fat. The second is red meat food, the first choice is beef, followed by mutton, it is best not to choose pork. The reason is that the fat content in pork is also relatively high, which will increase body fat content. Seafood is also a high-protein food and can be an appropriate replacement for chicken and fish. All meats should be lean.
Do not eat meat at the end of the meal after exercise. The reason is that a large amount of lactic acid will accumulate in the body after exercise, which will cause fatigue to the body. Meat foods are also acidic foods, which will increase the body's fatigue and require more recovery time. You can choose meat food every other meal.
The intake of meat should also be determined according to the intensity of training. Excessive meat intake will also increase the burden on the body's metabolism. After the body absorbs enough protein, the rest will accumulate in the body. Formation of fat.
