Some people believe that only animal products can provide the body with the necessary amount of protein to build muscle mass.

However, such a diet will be harmful to health: meat cannot be eaten in large quantities on a daily basis.

Therefore, it is worth paying attention to plant products.

Which ones can be called the best?

Oatmeal porridge

This is not only a valuable breakfast, but also an excellent source of protein. A serving of porridge (one hundred grams) contains more than 17 grams of protein, which is quite impressive.

Chickpeas

At first glance, it may seem that chickpeas do not contain as much protein as is needed to build muscle. However, do not forget about the essential amino acids included in the composition: they are the ones that help achieve the goal.

Quinoa

This is an ideal product for building muscle mass with maximum health benefits. The composition of this cereal can be safely called impeccable.

Eating quinoa several times a week will help you get in good shape and improve your health.

Nuts

This is a great balanced snack that you can safely afford during intense training. If you are actively training and watch your diet, you can eat up to 50 grams of any nuts per day.
