Snack: Whole Wheat Crisps With Cottage Cheese and Salmon

Aside from being high in protein, fish like salmon, trout, and tuna are also good sources of omega-3s, which help stimulate muscle-building protein.

Before lunch, snack on a few whole wheat crisp breads with low-fat cottage cheese and sliced salmon.

Total protein: 10 grams

I've been training for figure competitions for a year, and competed in 2 so far. Protein has been ESSENTIAL to building muscle. I loved the changes I've seen - staying lean while eating like a boss. :) http://www.sprint2thetable.com/

I eat a muscle building menu every day... and it goes something like this: eggs & pumpkin/butternut squash @ breakfast... ostrich burger @ lunch (no bun).... lots of salmon, spaghetti squash, green beans & spinach @ dinner - YUM!
