Top 200 Muscle Building Foods - Meat and Eggs

I can guarantee you that 50-55% of the protein you’ll ingest in your diet will come from some type of Meat or Egg source (unless you’re a vegetarian).  It is important to ingest protein due to the fact that every tissue of our bodies is made up of protein.  For our specific purpose it is the building block for producing lean muscle as well as burning fat.  Due to its thermogenic effect protein helps increase our metabolism every time we digest it and it releases carbohydrates slowly throughout the day resulting in high energy levels.

Below I’ve listed 46 of the top 200 Muscle building foods from Meats and Eggs.

Before you read on further note that the caloric information for all these items is not 100% accurate.  Depending on where you buy your groceries and the specific brand these readings might be off by a little bit.  But for the most part this list is pretty accurate and should be a good reference.
