Chicken

Along with eggs, broccoli  and whey protein you won't see many self respecting gym goer fore going a breast or two of chicken.

Chicken is full of protein and low in fat, if you throw away the delicious chicken skin anyway!
 Turkey is leaner but chicken tends to be more available, easier to store, cheaper
and doesn't tend to be as dry.

Chicken gives you a big does of vitamin B3 and also has all the other B vitamins in different amounts, which help convert your food into energy.

A good amount of selenium which helps prevent cell damage from free radicals.

A good amount of phosphorous which helps build and repair bones and teeth, it also helps your nerve function and helps muscles contract.

Chicken also has zinc and magnesium which will help your testosterone levels to some degree.

If you are cooking chicken please ensure that it is cooked all the way through, no red/ pink meat and ensure the juices are running clear, you won't be getting the most of all that lovely protein if you are confined to the bathroom!
