4. Red Meat
Most people don’t need any more encouragement to enjoy a nice piece of lean red meat, but for this one, you’re out of luck if you are following any kind of vegan or plant-based diet – just skip it if that’s you.
Now, the trick here is that not all meat is created equal, and the benefits even vary based on which cut of steak you decide to buy, so let’s find out what you should be looking for during your next trip to the store.
The cuts of meat that are good for weight gain are those which are higher in calories, and they’re also tastier. These include tenderloin, T-bone, rib eye, and so on – they’re fatty cuts with visible marbling. You can probably find most of these cuts at your local supermarket, but if you have the chance you should also consider visiting a local butcher or sometimes even a farmer’s market.
