    Meat for bulking

    ive been just simply maintaining my weight to decide what i wanna do

    and i've decided on bulking even though summer is arriving unfortunately im willing to sacrifice my abs

    when it comes to meat for bulking, i've just been eating boneless chicken breast, or fish

    i'd like to switch up to steaks or some type of beef, to be clear i have no knowledge on steaks or beef since i never ever branch out.. but since im bulking i figure now is my time to

    steaks and beefs ok for bulking? what type exactly am i looking for? i notice they rarely have nutrition labels on them so im clueless

    i use very lean ground beef like 93%
    and have a steak almost everyday !!!

    I try for lean steaks, but you need to really tenderize them as the leaner they are the tougher they are

    once i go into the super market how can i tell that a steak is very lean?
    like it'll say " lean cut steak" or "lean ground beef " ?

    i think im lookin for when

    selecting beef, cuts labeled "Choice" or "Select" instead of "Prime" right

    such as * Round steak
    * 95% lean ground beef
    * Chuck shoulder roast
    * Arm pot roast
    * Shoulder steak
    * Strip steak
    * Tenderloin steak
    * T-bone steak
    and extra-lean is
    * Eye of round roast
    * Top round steak
    * Mock tender steak
    * Bottom round roast
    * Top sirloin steak
    does that look ok to you guys?

    ^^^ yep, looks about right

    the more white marbling you see throughout the meat, the fatter it is (and tastier too...lolol)

    it's good to rotate your protein sources.

    I eat lean beef (96/4) daily whether bulking or cutting.

    Lean ground is the way to go for price as well as preparation.
