Hello Jason,
Yes, a healthy balanced diet, because the body needs all nutrients which work in unison. To build muscle you need to exercise the muscle. Protein foods that help are: dairy, poultry, meat, fish, nuts and seeds.
Take care.

Hi Jason,
Yesterday I had to occasion to try a new vegetable/fruit that was very delicious and high in amino acids.
I thought you might want to know about it. It's called chayote. I hope you have the opportunity to try it. If you do, please shoot me an email and let me know whether you enjoyed it. I did!

Hi Jason,
the obvious answer is 'anything protein', and the recommendations for athletes are about 2 grams per kilogram of body weight. There is also research that suggests that this protein is best utilized if eaten in proportionate amounts throughout the day with at least 30 grams of protein per meal (rather than eating the largest amount for dinner).
