The Science
This food is excellent for muscle building due to its high protein content (20g per 100g, providing 40% DV), which supplies essential amino acids for muscle protein synthesis. It also provides significant zinc (44% DV) and phosphorus (15% DV), both of which support muscle repair and energy metabolism. The moderate fat content (13% DV) adds calorie density to support a caloric surplus needed for muscle gain.
Recommendation
Include this lean ground beef in your diet as a primary protein source, aiming for 1.6-2.2g protein per kg of body weight daily, and pair it with carbohydrate-rich meals for optimal recovery.
