When you lift weights it\u2019s important to eat well to compliment your body building.\u00a0 One of the most important nutrients that is sought after by those seeking to gain muscle is protein. There\u2019s a very good reason for the lust for protein as it actually helps to promote muscles to repair themselves when they\u2019re damaged through hard workouts and it also works to reduce the need to overeat. Finally, protein rich meats and vegetables<\/a> also increase the body\u2019s ability to burn calories.<\/p>\n

A Great Addition to a Body Builders Diet<\/b><\/p>\n

Meats with high levels of protein are perfect when you\u2019re heavy training. There\u2019s one excellent source that are worth adding to your diet. Beef is not only delicious it\u2019s also packed full of the proteins that we\u2019re made of too.\u00a0 Beef comes in many cuts, so you can mix up your meals and cook it in many different ways, so there\u2019s no need to worry about getting bored with your diet.<\/p>\n

Different Cuts of Beef<\/b><\/p>\n

There are many cuts to choose from but you will need to find a great source to ensure you\u2019re getting good quality meat. Here are some of the best steak cuts that are going to improve your menus and your muscles too:<\/p>\n

Porterhouse Steak<\/b><\/p>\n

When it comes to steaks the porterhouse is the king. It\u2019s not just one steak; it\u2019s two, so it\u2019s a big meal to consume. One side is a New York strip and the other is a fillet mignon. It\u2019s thick and it can be cooked in many ways, but it\u2019s always best when grilled. While this is the king of steaks it\u2019s not ideal to eat on a regular basis.<\/p>\n

T-Bone Steak<\/b><\/p>\n

The T-bone steak gets its name because of the bone that\u2019s shaped in a T. It\u2019s a smaller size compared with the porterhouse but it does look quite similar. The meat contains less of the tenderloin and it cooks slower simply because the meat is next to the bone. Medium rare is the perfect way to eat your T-bone.<\/p>\n

Top Sirloin<\/b><\/p>\n

Lean meat is beneficial when eating to compliment your body building as it doesn\u2019t contain as much fat as some of the other cuts. It\u2019s important not to get top sirloin mixed with sirloin as there are no tenderloin or round muscles. If you\u2019re fed up of eating steaks you can do something different with top sirloin, cut it into cubes and put it on skewers with some vegetables, it will be delicious!<\/p>\n

The Flank<\/b><\/p>\n

One of the most popular cuts of beef is the flank. The flavour is delicious as it\u2019s helped by the connective tissue. As it cooks the connective tissues add amazing flavour but it can result in less tender meats. Marinating the flank is a great way of adding even more flavour and it\u2019s always served cut across the grain.<\/p>\n

Feed your body and get ripped by adding beef and other high protein meat<\/a> into your diet.\u00a0 Balance the meat with a variety of vegetables, fruits and dairy and you\u2019ll be in fantastic shape in no time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
