When building muscle
stick with the basics — a multivitamin,
fish oil (6 - 10 grams
per day), creatine monohydrate, and whey protein.
While it is completely possible to consume enough protein from plant - based foods (and I often suggest everyone enjoy some purely plant - based meals a few times
per week), animal protein (including red meat, chicken, turkey and
fish) also provide great sources of protein, rich in a variety of minerals, vitamins and healthy fats (as long as we
stick to good - quality meats as mentioned above, and leaner cuts).
