A member asked:

Is there any food that is as good as protein shake for building muscles?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Protein: Protein. You should eat 1 gram for every pound of ideal body weight. For instance, if your ideal body weight should be 180 pounds, then you should eat 180 grams of protein a day...As long as you don't have any kidney disease. Protein is found in meat, dairy, eggs and protein supplements.
