Hi. I am a non-vegetarian. Gym coach has suggested me to have meat or chicken for protein and amino acid gain. Just want to know which is better in all aspects of nutrition value? Some say chicken is good some say meat or mutton is good. So please guide for this. Will be thankful.

Hye Firstly understand that just including proteins is not going to help. Most people going to gym for workout get obsessed with protein intake. Protein needs depend on your diet, your exercise routine and lifestyle. You have to have a balance of all nutrients for the proteins to be absorbed for body building. Try to include all types of protein foods in your diet. Proteins have to be distributed equally in your diet to avoid indigestion. Generally depending on your needs it would not be good to go for red meats on a regular basis.
