Teen workouts - Getting protein into your diet. Guide to getting fitter and stronger and speeding up muscle growth!

This isn't going to be a very detailed post of mine, so I'll get straight to the point.

Muscle growth occurs due to muscles tearing, and then repairing. Protein basically speeds up the repair time, and also enhances the results slightly, and unlike any supplements such as creatine etc, it's completely natural!

To get more protein into your diet, here are foods you need to consume more of;

1: Milk- Whether it's Full-Fat, Semi-Skimmed or Skimmed milk, the protein intake is still large, and therefore a if a large amount of milk is consumed per day, muscle mass will increase significantly.

2: Fish- Even if it's fish fingers, the protein is still there, and quite a lot of it. Try and get as much fish as you can.

3: Meats (Chicken & Beef especially)- All meats are rich in protein, and beef/steak even has some naturally occurring creatine, which would largely increase muscle size and strength, without the use of any unnatural supplements!

4: Eggs- No need for explanation really, eggs are high in protein, especially raw egg whites!

5: Beans- This get's overlooked a lot this does, But a tin of beans has around 20grams of protein in it! That's alot!

6: Protein Shakes/Bars- Yes they are a supplement, however as it is merely extra protein, there is nothing unnatural about it, however it simply increases your ability to have a balanced diet. Have protein shakes pre and post workout, and with meals! :)
