If you want to lose weight, the simple act of going to the gym for a workout is not sufficient. In order to achieve your goal and maintain a strong body, a nutritional plan must also be prioritised. This means consuming food with adequate nutrition throughout the day.  These are our top 15 good sources of protein you should consider adding to your diet for quick weight loss.

If you think that going to the gym is all that it takes to lose weight or to bulk up then you are wrong. Muscle fibres can break down when exercising which is the opposite of your goal which is to build muscle and strength. Working out should be fun and bring you positive health benefits, not end in muscle tears or stress fractures. This can be prevented by getting adequate nutrition throughout the day. Working out regularly requires your nutrition plan to provide the fuel you need for both exercise and recovery.
