Protein is one part of the picture
Protein supplies amino acids used throughout the body. Many foods contribute, including dairy, eggs, meat, fish, soy, beans, lentils, nuts, and seeds.
Build meals you can sustain
Distribute protein-containing foods in a way that fits your preferences, access, culture, and overall eating pattern. Supplements are optional convenience foods, not a requirement for training.
Individual needs differ
Health conditions, allergies, pregnancy, age, and training demands can change what is appropriate. A qualified clinician or registered dietitian can provide individualized guidance.
