FitnessNutrition - Food List
For fitness beginners, training is only part of the entire bodybuilding plan. In addition to training hard, you also need to arrange your diet plan scientifically. To do this, you need to know which foods are good and which are not. Only by choosing the right foods can you ensure the best results from your workout.
Below, we'll list all the foods you should put in your shopping basket, as well as the foods you shouldn't buy, to help you reach your fitness goals faster.
A shopping list of the best protein, carb and fat foods.
Excellent source of protein
Eggs: are the best high-protein food among natural foods. Usually, three egg whites for every whole egg is better. For example, for breakfast, you can eat two whole eggs, plus six egg whites.
Skinless chicken breast: This is a high-quality, high-protein food with very low fat content and is not expensive. Many bodybuilders rely on skinless chicken breast as their main source of protein.
Beef: Although lean beef contains a little more fat than chicken, it is also a good choice. Bodybuilders can eat more beef during the off-season, and they can also eat it in moderation during preparation for competitions.
Pork tenderloin: Inexpensive and low in fat.
Salmon: A very powerful food, high in protein and healthy fats.
Canned tuna: The price is not expensive and the fat content is very low. However, if you need to control your sodium intake, you should eat less canned tuna. Also, make sure the canned tuna you buy is filled with water, not oil.
Sea bass: high-quality low-fat and high-protein food, but more expensive.
Shrimp: a high-protein, low-fat choice
Skim cheese/milk: This is a high-protein food that is digested and absorbed slowly and can provide the body with a stable supply of amino acids for a long time. Perfect to take between meals or before bed.
Protein foods you should stay away from
Chicken with skin: Chicken skin will increase your fat intake.
Breaded chicken nuggets: Breadcrumbs will increase your simple carbohydrate intake.
Cooked meat products: Too many chemicals are added during the production process, thereby reducing the quality of the meat.
Bacon: Although it tastes good, it is high in fat. Therefore, it is not the best choice.
Beef and mutton with high fat content: When buying steak, if there is some visible fat around the steak, that’s okay. All you need to do is cut off the visible fat with a knife. However, if the fat is visible in the middle of the steak and cannot be removed, you should not buy it even if it tastes better.
