Although protein supplements are common with lifters, there are plentyof foods high in protein that can be included in all meals and snacks. Therefore supplements may not be necessary for all lifters. Lean meat, skinless chicken, fish, eggs, dairy foods, nuts, seeds and pulses are all examples of protein rich foods. It is, however, possible to overdo the protein, as your body can only deal with so much. More than 2g per kg of bodyweight a day has been shown to have no added benefit for strength gains.***
