bodybuilding/nutrition (minced beef vs. steak)?
hi, i’m trying to gain lean muscle through a rigorous exercise regime as well as proper eating habits. lately i’m into buying lean or medium minced beef from my local supermarket since it’s cheap and i’m on a tight budget. a friend of mine keeps telling me mince is a suboptimal source of protein, is this true? what are the disadvantages of eating minced beef as opposed to a good ole steak? since steak seems to go for about twice the price i’d assume there are some benefits, but for someone whose primary concern is to build muscle.. are they important?
i also try to get some chicken as well as horse meat into my diet, as too much red meat isn’t good for you. again, with these, is minced/ground chicken/horse less beneficial than the steak equivalents? in case it’s relevant my current protein intake consists mainly of 4 egg whites, 2 yolks (all scrambled), a tin of tuna, and 2 whey protein shakes and some choice of meat for dinner
Learning about the in’s and out’s of internet marketing can be difficult unless you have a great mentor and where can that mentorship be found? If you really want to succeed online you must get yourself a copy of Commission Blueprint 2.0 created by Steven Clayton and Tim Godfrey. The tools alone are worth the cost alone. Best wishes!
thanks, appreciate any answers!

The ground beef may be sub optimal in the sense that you will likely have to consume more fat to get the same amount of protein in a leaner cut of beef such as sirloin.
But things get a bit boring anyway with the same diet day after day. Move to and from from Red Meat to poultry, Fish, Tofu and even cheese.Mix it up and not only will it be less boring but it will also provide you a greater range of nutrients in different areas. Boiled Chicken everyday will drive anyone insane.
Nuts for example are higher in good fats, have antioxidant properties, and are high in protein and fiber as well. Be careful of the Cashews and Pistachios, but Almonds, Walnuts, Pecans, Hazelnuts/filberts/ Brazil Nuts and Macadamias…even peanuts. They all taste differerent/good/interesting and are packed full of nutrients.
Good Luck
Consider Whey Protein from XS. Do some reading here:

beef is beef no matter what the cut…so buy what you can. (steak costs more because it’s smaller and you have to have it hand cut…)
If you want REAL blood, body building meat…go for liver..(yes I know, but it’s lean, costs are cheap and it feeds the blood/body better..) Have you tried buffalo ??? It’s lean, tastes like beef and is good for you. (yes it costs more, but you get good LEAN meat)
Tuna is good, stay away from oily tuna…(take omega 3 capsules..fish oil) or eat salmon (fresh, not farmed)
Turkey is better for you than some chicken…
you can mix turkey and beef and it will taste like beef…
