Food That Helps You Build Lean Muscle
Quinoa
Magnesium is necessary for the proper functioning of your muscles and nerves, which are used every time you move. While protein-rich diets are vital for growing lean muscle, you also need the energy to exercise. Carbohydrate-rich foods can help offer this energy. Cooked quinoa has around 40 grams of carbohydrates per cup (185 grams) and 8 grams of protein, 5 grams of fiber, and plenty of magnesium and phosphorus.
