AUTHOR’S NOTE — me: i’m not gonna write for cod. i’m not gonna write for- [GUNSHOT]. this has been in my brain for WEEKS but now it’s finally written out <3 i live off of any type of modern-worker price concepts lmao they’re keeping me going rn.

“You know what sets me apart from others?”

John had you wrapped around his finger. Like a ring given in matrimony—the one you'd shiver over every time you had to take it off for some necessary chore where it could be damaged or lost. He knew his importance to you was real, it was what kept you coming back. But he had never taken into consideration that his services weren't enough for you.

Not with the way he had you clenching around his length, like now. “Why I am so good at my goddamn job?”

His ego had grown the more you had spoken. Broken sentences admitting to him that you had gone to see another man, asked for the pleasures of another's touch that wasn't him—you were his only regular.

John already knew, he was already hearing the gossip amidst the others. He had already found the strangely familiar phone number hidden deep inside of your drawer. In his world, of dark nights and long-time pleasure—he knew the signs of when a client was putting a distance between them and him.

You felt him twitch up into your heat as your breathing stuttered. Ears ringing loudly but only listening to the sounds of John spilling words through his gritted teeth. You knew you had crossed the line.

“What makes me the fucking best?” His words were harsh like a growl, yet spoke softly into only your ear as he pressed you into the mattress below him and felt your hips jerk back into his hot loins.

He had been fucking you for two hours. And this was once something you begged for. Once, his intimacy—now, obsession.

You felt yourself shivering from the cold air, the only major heat being the rough man behind you. His body was sweaty, hair sticking to himself along every part of his body. His happy trail soaked with drops of sweat running down his abs, stomach sucking in every time you clenched around him. You were dizzy from all that he had done to you.

And yet, he got another rise. Had released his load into you twice now, stretching you even further on his cock. That twitch of your body, mouth agape and claiming his name on your tongue. “John!”

Each time he pulled his length from you, the stickiness of his cum was enough to make you jerk and nearly orgasm until you felt the bruises he left on your hips throb in pain from his calloused fingertips pressing into them again.

You felt the cold air of his dick leaving you, could only whine as his hand pulled at your head until his lips were on your ear. And just as you felt the rush of his hot cum hitting the skin of your ass, he spoke again.

“Because I focus on my own pleasure, not yours. And that makes you my toy.”

Your whine was enough to have him turning you over to look at him, his touch becoming gentle as he heard the hisses and whispered words from your lips. “I'm sorry. I'm sorry.”

“Sorry.” He was still John. “Sorry is a tough word for you to use, isn't it?” His accent had grown thicker by each syllable. He was playing with your emotions. “Did you apologize to the man you called out that late night?”

There it was. The jealousy he had pent up, rocked his hips into yours until he almost forgot, only to see your big eyes staring up at him with tears falling down your cheeks to remind him.

“The one whose number you dialed instead of mine? Met in the latest hour of the night? Asked to pleasure you in some new way to get your fucking rocks off?!”

His beard was still covered in the wetness of your arousal, mixing with his spit and displaying itself on your skin each time his words turned angrier. Everything he had done to you tonight, it was all to convince you.

His mind was lost in his own thoughts as he spoke aloud. “Could he even make you cum? Know how to use you? Did he even get a touch before you realized he was someone else and not me?”

His hand moved from your heat, feeling you throb against the little friction he gave you until it found the pulse of your heartbeat at your neck. His thumb pressed into the spot, begging to feel how fast your heart would beat when he finally told you what he wanted to say all night.

“I'm the only person in the world that can make you cum like this.” His hard length was in his free hand, pressing into your heat once more until you were all-consuming. You saw the flinch in his face as he felt your walls feather with overuse, but he still found himself filling you up.

You felt his hips stutter once he was balls deep. The way his cock twitched from being sensitive like he hadn't used every hard-on he had gotten that night to prove his point. Now was his final show.

The ring of your arousal around him only caused a louder squelch and he pulled from you and thrusted himself back in. His speech only turned guttural when he felt how tired you were, how well he had taught you this lesson.

And as your body took him in and then kept going, your rise finally crashed down on you.

“You’re the o-only person who I have seen this many times in my field of work.”

You squeezed him, milked him of one more gushing orgasm, and then fell right down into your own. “Your body only knows me now. This—” He winced feeling your entire body turn into mush as your orgasm finally swept over you. “This is only for us.”

His words quieted as his head fell into your shoulder, mouth kissing at your neck. You could only cry, only whine his name softly. He finally claimed what he wanted to since the first day your shaky little fingers dialed his number.

“I'm the only one who can give you what others cannot.” He spoke so gently, pressing his entire weight onto your form below him and into the mattress. “My love.”

part 3 of "Simon has a bad time in the omegaverse" thing

CW: kidnapping, torture, talks of rape/non-con, bitching, turning an alpha into an omega, non-con chastity bondage, non-con injections and drugging, the makers of cod made Ghost for the express purpose of suffering and having bad things happen to him, established relationship, alpha x alpha relationship, alpha x omega relationship, happy ending yay! :), sprinkles of smut, inspired by a fic i read on ao3 which i lowkey regret reading, this is the darkest part so the non-con warning is for this part be careful and don't read if it makes you uncomfortable or scares you

He was in heat. it was the second day or so of this unbearable craving deep inside his loins yet because he was alone and in a chastity cage he couldn't even grind against anything to give himself some release despite his dick leaking like a faulty faucet. His captors entered the cell, carrying a black bag with them and chuckling menacingly. Simon growled at them, hissed and spit and struggled in defiance but was quickly pinned down and injected with some kind of chemical that wouldn't let him move but would allow him to feel everything. The enemies started reaching into the bag and what they pulled out made Simons stomach sink. Toys of various sizes and colors were pulled out one by one, knotted ones, vibrating ones, any and every sort of "heat assistance" one could think of. As one of them approached Simon tried to struggle away with everything he still had in him but it was all in vain as the enemy soldier knelt down and maneuvered his legs to be spread as wide as they could. Simon could feel the toy rubbing against him and grunted (he wouldn't give them the satisfaction of screaming he wouldn't) as the toy was pushed inside him. That was how the enemy soldiers "helped" him out with his heat. They would do this for hours using toy after toy, milking Simon dry until his thighs were covered in slick and cum and his body shook from the overstimulation. The only good thing (although "good" was so subjective you couldn't find a single coherent answer) was that they never stuck their own dicks into him. "Keeping him pure" is what they'd said and Simon had a guess that if he wasn't saved soon he would be trafficked and sold to the highest bidder which arguably was much worse than anything else they could think of. His biggest concern was still you, always you. The voice in his head that was telling him you wouldn't want him anymore was louder than ever. He wanted to cry but he couldn't, not here. He didn't want you to leave him, he didn't want you to look at him differently. The thought of you looking at him with disgust or distain made his stomach twist. but despite that voice, despite the endless toys going in and out of him he couldn't give up hope. Thus the second half of his captivity went like that. Chemically induced heats and endless thrusting of a toy inside of him as he came for the nth time that day. The time has blurred for him, he can no longer tell what day it is or if it's even day anymore.

Eventually something even worse happened. If things could get worse for Simon "Ghost" Riley they always would. As his captivity went on and the endless barrage of toys kept filling him day in and day out his body started responding to the endless stimulation. Moans would rip themselves out of his mouth and his hips would roll against the toys his captors kept sticking in him. Yet as addled with chemicals and hormones and pheromones as his brain was he still only ever thought of you which arguably made things worse since the thought of the person who he considered his mate made his body all the more aroused and needy. He hated it but he couldn't stop thinking of you. You were one of the very few things still keeping his mind afloat. He tried to stay strong but his hopes of being rescued were waning. Just as he was close to snapping he heard the very distinct and very familiar sound of gunfire and shouting. He weakly rolled himself over to face the door but was too weakened to make any sound. His hope had been reignited. Perhaps the universe hated Simon "Ghost" Riley a little less.....

You have been loosing your mind ever since Simon was pronounced MIA. You were constantly pissed, your alpha scent sharp and threatening. It was getting so bad even your team were getting wary around you. You and Price had way more than one argument about not doing enough to find Simon. Despite your outward anger at everything deep inside you were scared. Scared for Simon and what was being done to him, scared of never seeing him again. He was yours, your Simon and you were damned if you'd let some two bit terrorists take him away from you. When Price told you that they had Simons location you almost tore through the door trying to get out, almost forgetting your gear but Price managed to stop you from doing anything stupid. During the entirety of the helicopter ride to the location you kept clutching your gun in a death grip in preparation to rip through any and every scumbag that had a hand in taking your mate away from you. And boy did you. You fought those bastards tooth and claw, tearing them to shit both with your weapon and your bare hands. Blood stained your uniform and you could taste the enemies blood in your mouth. You tried your best to sniff out Simons scent but couldn't quite find it until your nose caught a faint trace of bourbon and you ran faster than you thought could ever be possible towards the so familiar smell. You busted through the door of the holding cell to see your mate, your Simon lying there chained, beaten and starved with the faint smell of sex coming off him. That made your inner alpha feral with rage, the possessiveness overriding rational thoughts as you ripped through the people who were in the cell with him, tormenting him with the toys.

Simon was so happy to see you. Finally he could leave this place. The sight of you ripping through the people responsible made his addled brain reel with the rush of need and heat. The scent of angry alpha was so masculine and overpowering that it was hard for him to keep from whining out. Once you were done rampaging your feral alpha brain focused back on Simon and you took a deep breath yet something was wrong. His scent was different and the scent of slick was very thick in the air. You however didn't have time to wonder about that because your first priority was your partner. You found the keys to the shackles holding Simon tied down in one of the corpses pockets and quickly unlocked them, holding Simon close and reassuring that everything was okay. He was still dizzy and in the throes of a chemically induced heat and couldn't resist shoving his face into your neck, taking in as much of your scent as he could. You thought it strange that he was being so affectionate but decided to put your concerns aside to focus on getting him out of there. You contacted the team trough your radio and told them that you found Simon and needed emergency medical evac. You moved quickly, carrying Simon back to the helicopter to finally bring him back home. He clung to you all throughout and refused to let go even as medical staff tried to get him on a gurney. You shushed him, letting out a soothing scent and many soft purrs hoping that he would calm down just a little bit. In the end he had to be sedated so the medics could get him back to base and give him proper treatment.

When you got the news of what has been done to him to say that you were shocked would've been an understatement. The bastards who had him bitched him out and turned your beloved alpha into an omega. Now you weren't mad that he was an omega, you would love him in any form he took but you were livid that someone would do that to another person. Of course the talk of reversing what has been done was brought up but due to the type and amount of chemicals they couldn't do anything that wouldn't put Simons life at risk yet so he would be subjected to living with the forced transition. You were pissed but had put your anger aside for the good of your partner who was recovering from what happened but of course, the shitshow never ends.

A nurse approached you and told you that Simon was still in heat and had been moved to a heat room to make things more comfortable. She (and almost everyone else) knew of your and Simons relationship and advised you to be by his side as his partner and alpha. As reluctant as you were you knew it would be easier to bear the heat with an alpha by his side so despite being unsure you made your way towards the heat room hoping that Simon wouldn't reject you and let you help him bear with the changes in his body.

Will be continued in pt.4 which will be soft and fluffy with maybe some suggestiveness

[zoeykallus]

Hi! First of all, I really love your writing. I always enjoy reading your blog 💓 so I was wondering if you could do a headcanon of the batch reacting to a SO with a small breast, and maybe she's a bit insecure about it? Thank you if you'll do that. Sending hugs!!

Thank you so much! Reacting... in my personal experience men usually only know what we are insecure about if we specifically tell them about it. So I hope it's okay if I pick that approach.

The Bad Batch x Fem!Reader HC's - Small Breasts

Warnings: Possibly Suggestive In Parts 18+ (just to be safe)

Hunter

Making him aware of your insecurity leaves him puzzled. Hunter is looking at you and he doesn't really get it right away. He's confused and frank about it.

"Okay. But what exactly is it that makes you insecure about that? No wait don't show me right now... unless you want me to get hard right here and now"

In his eyes you are pretty the way you are, nothing on your body seems like a flaw to him. If Hunter is at your side, he is attracted to you the way you are. He is not that fixed on physical appearence anyway. Scent, voice and the way you move and talk are much more prominent for him than anything else.

Echo

Cute Echo knows about insecurities. He's fighting with them since the citadel and he's actually doing pretty good. In your case he thinks it's unnecessary.

Echo thinks you are beautiful, he adores you and he's showing it every day. He'll touch and caress every part of your body you feel insecure about with special love and care, just to show you how much.

"You are perfect the way you are, Cyare"

Wrecker

"Love, everything about you is small and I love it!"

He means compared to him you are so delicate and small. His love is unconditional, real and deep. Wrecker loves everything about you and he would never want to change a thing about your body.

"Mesh'la only thinking about them get's my blood pumping. If you ask me there is absolutely nothing wrong about your boobies"

Tech

"My boobs are so small..."

Tech looks up from his holo pad, blinking. Seing you fiddling with your breasts in your bra. His blood slowly but surely starts rushing to his loins. But outwardly so far he keeps his cool.

"And?

"I wish they were bigger"

"I don't see any need for that", he says matter-of-factly.

"It would look nicer, wouldn't it?"

He's not sounding matter-of-factly anymore as he says, "You could take of my cod piece to find the answer to that question"

Crosshair

He wordlessly starts to undress you as a result. His long slender fingers cupping your breasts softly.

"They do feel pretty perfect to me", he says suggestivly with a smirk.

His love language consists mostly of teasing, physical affection and protective services. Don't be surprised if he drags you to the next bed and shows your boobies some love in every way he knows.

Omg I didn’t know any of my moots liked cod either 😭👏🏻🥰 I saw your post- mm… I was thinking of being in a labyrinth and at first I was like 😏🤔 imagine Minotaur!Price… but then I thought Gaz, and finally wound up thinking it’d suit Soap. Like… not that they all couldn’t be, but the way Minotaurs are usually depicted so muscular, and the way they’re so hairy… like 🥵😫 definitely Price or Soap. They might have a loin cloth, but it doesn’t cover much, and as soon as they find you trying to grab the treasure from the center of the maze, they block the exit. But you seem so sweet? And you’re not scared of him (them?) Of course they can’t just let you go… and there’s something about the apologetic look in your eye that makes them think twice about killing you… so… would it be wrong to just 👀😅🥺 leave you with a punishment to teach you a lesson before you go? You seem to be so fascinated by them, and your gentle and soft touch does nothing to change his(their) mind. Whether you offer yourself to them in bargaining to leave, or they just decide to teach you a lesson (consensual ofc)… maybe their breeding kink(s) kick in and they eventually just decide to keep you for themselves. Have their own secret treasure kept in the maze, not just the ones they’ve been hired to protect 🔥

Anyway, you asked for some hot monster 141 so I thought I’d drop this by 🙈

not me forgetting about this ask until you dm’d me 🙈🙈🙈

but yes yes yes minotaur soap and minotaur price who are so used to humans coming in and being scared, maybe trying to fight them. but you’re just looking up at them with rapt fascination and pretty doe eyes

Local Produce 

The fields of bright yellow contain the unfortunately named crop ‘rape’. It has a much better name in America, where it’s known as Canola. Botanically it’s related to cruciferous vegetables eg broccoli, brussels sprouts etc. and the seed gives a glorious oil for cooking or salad dressings. With a quite delicate flavour, rapeseed oil is naturally low in saturated fat (apparently half or less than that in olive oils) and it’s high in unsaturated fat, so good for health. It’s one of the oldest known vegetable oils and has a much higher smoking point than olive oil. I usually use this oil for making mayonnaise which goes particularly well with the local asparagus when it becomes available - Crow can hardly wait, he loves English asparagus

Rape plants also have a tendency to migrate and pop up where they weren’t originally intended

While the crop’s maturing there’s another wild delicacy out there to be foraged and we’re fortunate to know a spot where there’s plenty to spare without taking too much from each plant

The wild garlic is just about coming into flower

I’m in the process of washing and drying our haul and turning it into pesto, flavoured butter and sea salt to use up or freeze for later in the year. Some for us and some for family and friends

The butter will be sliced into rounds and frozen for use as and when; the salt will  season baked potatoes, or fish, poultry and grilled meats; the pesto has a range of uses - with pasta of course, on pizza, as a topping for roast cod loin, in quiche. It’s a lovely, savoury accompaniment to so many dishes

Meanwhile https://sussexnature.tumblr.com has some up to date woodland photos to enjoy

Today has felt like the first true spring day and I was not ready for the huge surge of dopamine from the sunshine! Nevertheless, it powered me through and for that I am grateful.

Unfortunately, the cold I caught from my mother lingers but I was all too happy to begin my morning with half a teaspoon of honey to appease my claggy throat. I then welcomed in the morning with a creamy cup of tea with soya milk and researched coding courses until my empty teacup obliged me to get on with my half hour power flow with ‘Yoga with Allie Van Fossen’ on YouTube - a recent and golden find. After that, I showered with my ‘toasted marshmallow’ shower gel and put on a burgundy dress without fear of the cold. I made a breakfast I crave every time I see a ‘that girl’ post online - scrambled eggs on avocado toast - and felt in total bliss while I munched. I then completed half of my number theory exercises while digesting.

Mum and I had fun while grocery shopping this morning and we rounded off the trip with a coconut latte - the caffeine buzz strengthened while I was putting the shopping away until it was undeniably charged and ready for a jog. I haven’t been jogging while it has been cold but this is feeling so good. I need to remember that If We Ever Meet Again by Katy Perry and Timberland is a great song to run to.

Coming home, I did some strength work organised by a beginners workout plan I found on pinterest and had to stop for a second because I was getting so lost in the moment and probably not showing good form. Thankfully, I had a conversation with my brother and afterwards calmed down tremendously... and we did a few squats together. Timmon, you’re the best.

By the time I’d finished, my butternut squash was ready so I made a salad of that and accompanied it with a blueberry cheesecake smoothie using some powder from The Protein Works. It was quite tangy and grainy - if anyone has any suggestions to improve this, I’d be forever grateful.

Following this, I finished number theory and wrote up one of the homework questions but this took a while and afterwards I felt rather drained. I had just enough time to do a 15 minute yoga sequence from Yoga With Kassandra (which was supposed to be for bedtime but was the perfect remedy for my hunched shoulders and reeling mind) before my mum returned from her long afternoon. I was proud of my mum when she said that she still wanted to go for a walk with our dogs to enjoy the beautiful evening. 

After that, I cooked. I should have definitely taken a picture before I started munching but whoops... I should have definitely cooked the cod loin with more seasoning and for slightly less time but the baby corn and potatoes really pleased me. I don’t know why I rustled a cup of strawberries, mango, and vanilla ice cream up afterwards... If there was one thing which would improve today, it would be to eliminate the dessert and have a hug from my boyfriend but here I am without boyfriend and containing fruit... I did do some logic puzzles and write this post, though, and I am about to do some prebed skincare so life goes on.

✧ LA LÉGENDE

HIVER 1672, les habitants du petit village de provincetown fêtaient fièrement les cinquante ans de la ville, ainsi que leur dur labeur à en ériger d'un rien les fondations. parmi ceux présents, le maire se tenait victorieusement devant la nouvelle église, faisant un discours d’honneur à tous les heureux bâtisseurs de ce nouveau monde. l’humeur était à la fête et le clocher sonnait tout juste ses 12 coups de midi pour annoncer le début des festivités. mais comme chaque année, à ce jour qui se voulait commémoratif et joyeux, le vieux gardien du phare était le seul à ne pas avoir le cœur aux réjouissances. propageant autour de lui, la rumeur que bientôt: la vague rouge les emporterait tous. selon lui, la péninsule du cape cod était maudite, et l’océan ne pardonnerait jamais aux colons de s’y être installés. mais les années étaient passées sans que personne ne se soucie réellement des paroles du vieux marin. alors cette année encore, tous ne firent rien de mieux que de l’ignorer.

mais alors, sonna le dernier coup du clocher, et le temps semblait avoir subitement changé. le tonnerre se mit à gronder, et au loin, on pouvait même y voir la mer s'agiter. le vent entraina la pluie avec lui et déchaîna d'énormes torrents. la fête était terminée sous les regards pétrifiés des habitants, l’atlantique rouge de colère vint s’échouer sur leur tête et leurs derniers espoirs. le phare et le vieux pêcheur furent avalés en premier, les maisons tombèrent une à une, et le clocher vint sonner sa grâce au sol. ce jour-là, les abysses avaient damné les habitants de provincetown. désormais dotés de l'immortalité, ils étaient alors tous condamnés à voir le reste du monde s’écrouler sous les vagues, pour toujours.

la tempête dura sept jours et sept nuits, et alors qu’ils auraient tous dû périr à ce massacre, ils comprirent tour à tour la réalité de leur nouveau destin.

Keto tips: No fruit, unless it’s berries in moderation… No wheat No sugar No grains No pasta No potatoes No rice No beans No starches No milk as it’s loaded with sugar. ( unsweetened almond milk is recommended.) HWC (Heavy whipping cream) is good in coffee or whatever you would like to use it for. Meat, cheese, eggs, vegetable, nuts, and healthy fats. It’s simple. Stick to that, and you should be ok! Vegetables that should be avoided are… Sweet potatoes Corn Peas Potatoes Carrots – can be used in moderation, just don’t go over board. They are full of starches and not recommended. Make sure to drink half your body weight In oz of water as well if you aren’t getting the adequate amount of water it can be bad for your kidneys! This applies for all forms of keto. Do not forget your electrolytes, they are needed daily. A good form of electrolytes is: Powerade zero Pickle juice Pink Himalayan salt added to your food Strict keto – counts all macros, do not eat processed foods. Lazy keto – doesn’t track all macros, still eats processed foods, as long as they are on plan Macros are a break down of the calories you intake for the day. Which should be… 5% carbs 20% protein 75% fat Carb manager is a great app to track macros Carbs are a limit – try not to go over your carb limit. Fat is a lever – you don’t have to meet your fat macro, it’s simply there to help you get full. Protein is a goal- try your best to reach your protein goal, but try not to go over. Excessive amounts of protein can cause you to stall in weight loss. Anything other than this food group selection would be considered low carb. Also, if you are in ketosis, and eat outside of this food group not only could it take you out of ketosis, but it could spike your blood sugar! Which can make you sick. Hope this helps.  If you are a keto newbie- This should help  Meats: ZERO CARBS  • Beef- Ground beef, Steak, Ribs, and Roasts • Pork- Chops, Ribs, BACON, Loins, sausage • Chicken/Turkey- Thighs w/skin or wings are the best because breasts are high in protein. However, you CAN eat breasts, just have to eat more fat to compensate. • Fish- Tuna, Salmon, Cod, Haddock, etc. • Shrimp/Lobster- Go crazy, use lots of butter! • Pepperoni Cheese: MOST are no carb, almost all are low carb • Mozerella & Cheddar- Buy in bulk, they freeze well and are insanely versatile! • Colby jack, pepper jack, monterrey jack • Taco style, Mexican style • Parmesan, Asiago • Ricotta- Freezes well, very versatile • Cottage cheese- Good to throw in your lunch with berries, usually around 4-8g of Carbs per serving • Cream Cheese- Freezes very well, this is one of the things that I always glance at whenever I go to the store, and always buy a bunch of if it’s under 75 cents per 8oz.

Lean Meats and Fish: Best Protein Foods for Muscle Growth

When it comes to building muscle, protein is an essential nutrient that plays a crucial role in muscle repair and growth. Among the various sources of protein, lean meats and fish stand out as some of the best options. They provide high-quality protein, essential amino acids, and other vital nutrients that support muscle development. This article explores why lean meats and fish are the best protein food for muscle gain and how to incorporate them into your diet effectively.

Why Protein is Important for Muscle Growth Protein is composed of amino acids, which are the building blocks of muscle tissue. When you engage in strength training or any form of exercise that stresses the muscles, small tears occur in the muscle fibers. Protein helps repair these tears, leading to muscle growth and increased strength. Consuming adequate protein ensures that your muscles have the necessary resources to recover and grow after intense workouts.

Lean Meats: High-Quality Protein Sources Lean meats are an excellent source of high-quality protein. They provide all the essential amino acids your body needs to build and repair muscle. Here are some of the best lean meats for muscle gain:

Chicken Breast Chicken breast is a staple in many bodybuilders' diets for a good reason. It is low in fat and high in protein, making it an ideal choice for muscle growth. A 100-gram serving of chicken breast provides around 31 grams of protein and only about 3.6 grams of fat.

Turkey Turkey is another excellent source of lean protein. Like chicken, it is low in fat and high in protein. Turkey breast, in particular, is a great option, providing approximately 29 grams of protein per 100 grams. It is also rich in vitamins and minerals such as B vitamins and selenium, which support overall health.

Lean Beef Lean cuts of beef, such as sirloin or tenderloin, offer a significant amount of protein along with essential nutrients like iron and zinc. A 100-gram serving of lean beef provides about 26 grams of protein. These nutrients are crucial for maintaining energy levels and promoting muscle recovery.

Pork Loin Pork loin is a lean cut that provides a good balance of protein and fat. A 100-gram serving of pork loin contains around 25 grams of protein and 5 grams of fat. It is also a good source of B vitamins, which aid in energy metabolism.

Fish: Protein-Packed and Nutrient-Rich Fish is not only an excellent source of protein but also rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which have anti-inflammatory properties and support heart health. Here are some of the best fish for muscle gain:

Salmon Salmon is a fatty fish that provides a substantial amount of protein and healthy fats. A 100-gram serving of salmon offers around 20 grams of protein and is rich in omega-3 fatty acids. These healthy fats can help reduce muscle inflammation and improve recovery.

Tuna Tuna is a lean fish that packs a punch of protein. A 100-gram serving of tuna provides approximately 29 grams of protein. It is also low in fat, making it an excellent choice for those looking to build muscle without gaining excess fat.

Cod Cod is a white fish that is low in fat and high in protein. A 100-gram serving of cod contains about 20 grams of protein and less than 1 gram of fat. It is also a good source of vitamins B6 and B12, which support energy metabolism and red blood cell production.

Tilapia Tilapia is another lean fish that provides a good amount of protein with minimal fat. A 100-gram serving of tilapia offers around 26 grams of protein and less than 2 grams of fat. It is also rich in selenium, which is important for immune function and overall health.

Incorporating Lean Meats and Fish into Your Diet To maximize muscle growth, aim to include a variety of lean meats and fish in your diet. Here are some tips for incorporating these protein-rich foods:

Meal Prep: Prepare and cook lean meats and fish in bulk to have ready-to-eat protein sources available throughout the week. Balanced Meals: Combine lean meats and fish with complex carbohydrates and healthy fats to create balanced meals that support muscle growth and overall health. Cooking Methods: Opt for healthy cooking methods such as grilling, baking, or steaming to preserve the nutritional value of the meat and fish without adding excess fat.

Conclusion

Lean meats and fish are among the best protein food for muscle gain due to their high-quality protein content and essential nutrients. Including a variety of these foods in your diet can help you meet your protein needs, support muscle recovery, and promote overall health. Whether you prefer chicken breast, lean beef, salmon, or tuna, incorporating these protein-rich options will ensure you have the building blocks necessary for effective muscle growth and development.
