The Importance of Protein in Every Meal

In my article on How to Build Muscle, I outlined 3 main strategies for how to pack on lean muscle mass quickly and effectively.

One of the factors discussed in that article was increasing your overall calorie intake, with a particular focus on a high-protein diet. In order to build new muscle mass and keep it on, it’s essential that you provide your body with the material (ie., protein) and energy (ie., carbohydrates) needed for these processes.

And this is where snacking can play such an important role. If you’re trying to pack on lean sexy muscle, you’ve probably already got your meals covered. But high-protein snacks can help provide your muscles with a continuous source of protein between meals, and that can go a long way to making some serious fitness gains.

So even if your goal is weight loss, these protein cookies can help do the trick.
