Food That Helps You Build Lean Muscle

Chicken Breast

Chicken breasts are high in protein, with each 3-ounce (85-gram) serving containing approximately 26 grams of high-quality protein. They also have high B vitamins niacin and B6 levels, which may be especially important if you are physically active.

These vitamins assist your body in functioning correctly during the participation in physical activity required for optimal muscle gain. Furthermore, some research suggests that a high-protein diet that includes chicken may aid in fat loss.
