Bad. Pure garbage. This is gonna be a combination of both what builds muscle and strength, and also my personal taste buds. And you could say, well, Mike, that's your opinion, your taste buds, but this is not a democracy. This is a dictatorship, and my taste buds, what says what goes, let's dive in. Number one, I think we just got steak. It looks like a tomahawk, but it looks like God's gift red meat, which is my favorite thing. I think it tastes the best. Two, it's got a lot of nutrients in that red meat. I like to eat ground beef, even when I'm dieting. Right now I'm eating 96, 97% lean ground beef. When I'm not dieting, trust me, your boy loves a tomahawk, loves a ribeye. Even on the weekends, I've been smoking a tri-tip, deliciosa. So of course, the beef is heading to the top. I'm about to nut. Next, ladies and gentlemen, I think it's called the other, other white meat. Low-key underrated, everyone talks about bacon, but a nice like pork chop or pork loin, depending on the, on the fat content and how your diet's going, is actually delicious. You slather that boy in some barbecue sauce, beautiful summer barbecue. I enjoy pork. I don't eat it that often. It's definitely not in my top top. We'll put it, we'll put it in the F and amazing, because it's a great piece. It's not something I would eat every day on my food prep, but it is something that I would dive into pretty regularly. Next, I think we got some organs. I'm not liver king. I don't take the TRT Plus. I don't lie to you. Never lie to you guys. Not purposely, at least. Maybe I said things that are untrue, but that's not a purposeful lie. They have made mistakes. I haven't purposely lied to you in market to get a private plane and other luxuries that many of your favorite buff guys on the internet may or may not do. The pebble, the kidney queen, et cetera, et cetera. Liver probably has some nutrients in it. I haven't looked that deep into it, because I'm not eating raw meat. With modern civilization and the industrial revolution, we don't need to eat raw meat no more. We'll throw it in the OK. I haven't even looked into its nutrient profile. I've heard from multiple sources, but I haven't looked into it myself, so I can't confirm. You know what's crazy about diet culture? We can enjoy our foods. I don't just have to eat liver and kidney, because it's good for me. That fool is definitely having red wine and smack in a cookie at night. He's lying to you. Next, we got fish. I think, in particular, this one is salmon. I love sushi. I love sashimi, nigiri, but I will not eat cooked fish. That's just me. I don't know why. A little bit of barbecued salmon sometimes, but I don't really like cooked fish. In general, if we're talking about protein content, fish is some of the highest, especially tuna and others. Salmon is a little fattier, but it's obviously great fats for your system. I'm going to throw it in the effing amazing for the salmon. Ladies and gentlemen, as I just hyped up my sashimi tuna, I love tuna, and I love sashimi. I'm not eating any meat out of a can or out of a bag. It's not happening. I know all these bodybuilders are about this bag tuna, the chicken of the ocean. I'm not eating that ever. That's going in pure garbage. I don't even want to think about it. I don't want to open it. I don't want to look at it. The only meat that belongs in a bag is beef jerky. It's beef jerky, you perverts, get your head out of the clouds. A condom is not a bag. Beef jerky. This one's going to be a little bit of a weird rating because I don't love them, but they are top notch. Eggs. I love an omelet. If I'm at a nice diner, I'm slamming eggs. Egg white source of protein. Egg whites are obviously very low in fat, if not zero fat, and a little bit of egg here and there is a great idea. Easy source, easy to gurgle down, but I'm not eating it. So we're going to throw in the F and amazing because I know it's so versatile. I think next to them is egg whites. I'll throw that, I'm about to not, just because it has no fat, and the other one has a little bit of fat. So when you're dieting, not that fat is bad for you, but the issue is when you're dieting and you're a 200-pound man, I got to get 200 grams of protein that's still under 60 fat. So the selection of protein sources that I choose from become a little bit more limited. Again, it's not because fat is bad, it's just to get 200 grams and keep the ceiling of that fat low, you might have to slip in some egg whites. So a trick is to eat like one whole egg in three egg whites, something like that, moderate it out, same with the steak style, right? I can't be flaming you on a ribeye all day. I'm eating more things like the ground beef, sirloins, et cetera. And that's obviously where the chicken, the pork, and the other fishes come more into play. Milk's a great source. I don't want to just grab milk and drink on it. The only thing I would say is I do slam Fairlife. Fairlife milk, 0% fat is basically like a protein shake. It tastes like, it tastes better. The vanilla, pre-made, the core powers, the 30 grams, the 24 grams, the 52 grams. I don't know why they got so many gram versions, but they're all pretty good. That's going to go up in the about to not, just because it's so convenient. Next we got queso, cheese. Cheese is great topping. I do eat some fat-free cheese to kind of spice up some of my ground beef and my bland meals when I am dieting. As the source itself, it does have protein in it, but I would never call it a protein source simply because the amount of carbs and fat that are in there and the amount of protein in there per serving, it's probably just two dents and calories to be a great protein source. So we'll throw that probably in the bad. Moving on to lentils, I believe, is what we're digging in. I'll probably throw it in the okay. Lentils taste great. They can spice up something like a burrito bowl or a salad and add a little bit of protein. They do have carbs and even a hair of fat depending on how they're packaged. They're packaged in oil and stuff. Great fiber, great nutrients. Ladies and gentlemen, next is cottage cheese, which is like a very old school, very common bodybuilding, nutrient food snack. It's something a lot of people eat at night. A lot of these things that come from dairy when they're refined, whey protein, as most shakes are made of, come from milk. And cottage cheese also comes from there. So they start to process it all and it has a lot of casein protein, which is a slower digesting protein. So old school thought is that you eat slower digesting proteins at night and you repair overnight. It doesn't exactly work that way, but it is a slower digesting protein. I personally hate it. I'm never going to eat it. If it's something you enjoy, I'll definitely throw it for you guys. I'm going to throw it into the effing amazing, because it is a really good source. One of my favorites next. I don't eat it often unless I'm out. Shrimp. Shrimp is delicious. It's going in about to nut. Very, very low in fat. You obviously getting the volume in is a little bit more difficult because you got to eat 1,000 little guys to get 50 grams of protein. But seafood, most fish is generally fairly lean if you compare it to its beef counterpart. Chicken breast, a staple. I don't love it. I love chicken thigh, I love beef. But chicken breast is so versatile, it's so lean, it's affordable, and the protein is insanely high. Zero carb unless you're throwing in some crazy sauces. So it's got to go in the about to nut category. Next to chicken thigh, I'm going to throw it up there too. If you're dieting, obviously, it's a little bit more difficult. Thigh has a little bit more fat involved. But if you track your food, you can figure it out. And I personally think that's the barbecue thighs by themselves or even on an air fryer is amazing. Delicious, but probably not what we're looking at, bacon. A little too fatty for probably what we're looking for. Most slices of bacon are like three fat, three protein. So it's harder to get the protein you need within the day. Again, if I'm 200 pounds, I could eat less than 60 fat. For example, when I'm dieting, it's going to be really hard to get any bacon and maybe some as an accessory or a crumble over a salad or a piece or two with your egg whites is possible. But it's going to be really, really hard. So for that case, we're throwing it in the bad tier. Next, we got some other living kidney shit. I'm going to throw it in pure garbage just cause I don't know what it is. Then we got oysters. I don't eat oysters. And I don't imagine how many you got to eat to get enough protein. So for a purely strength and bodybuilding purposes, we're probably going to dump her. I believe this is a New York steak. New York steak we're going to throw in the belt tonight. A little hard to get if you are trying to diet. Again, the fat ratio is probably not there, but of the delicious meats, right? When we're going to a steakhouse, you're getting a filet, a ribeye, or a New York. If you get anything else, you're a moron. Most fancy, nice steakhouses don't serve anything else. New York is the leanest out of those three. So New York is something that I love. I don't eat it often when I'm dieting unless I'm going to drop my carbs on like a diet or excuse me, on a rest day. I believe this is tilapia. I can't say much, I'm going to throw it in the okay because I've never eaten it. It's a bodybuilding staple. When you're getting shredded and you're in the 1990s, everyone's eating tilapia and broccoli every single day. Not what I'm into. Again, I don't like cooked fish. I'll eat fish raw and tilapia is not something normal you order. Protein supplements, something I do not take. I can't tell you the last time I had a protein shake. It's been decades. I do have the fair life here and there but it's just not something I go into. Powders aren't something I enjoy to eat and I enjoy meat, so I'm going to eat meat. I like to enjoy my food. If you don't and you want the convenience of a protein powder, by all means, most of them are fairly built the same. Whey protein, casein protein, doesn't really matter. They're both complete proteins. Some lower in fat, lower in carbs, something like a hydrolyzer and isolate is great. Then you can mix in your own carbs with that if you want or just drink it by itself. We'll throw it in the okay tier simply because I don't think it tastes that good. Ladies and gentlemen, hopefully that helps you out. Get jacked with your protein intake. Roughly one gram of protein per pound of lean body mass is what we should be aiming for.
