Pineapple is good. It has a special property of helping the absorbtion of meat protiens.(Learned this from Jack Lalayne (the Juiceman)) I don’t know to what degree or if the results are negligable, but it might be able to draw more protien from whatever meat you eat it with. Opt For Fresh.

Great Site, BTW Mark, keep up the good work.

Great list, and encouraging because I eat all of the ticked foods on a regular basis already!! Haven’t been around for a while but your blog is looking really great these days, Mark. Thanks for all your hard work and inspiration, this blog got me focusing on losing weight and building muscle. So far I have lost 25 lbs of fat. Keep up the great work!

Thanks Mik. Fish is great, no doubt about it! You should be eating tuna and salmon for sure. I hadn’t noticed I had neglected it to be honest. I did publish my ‘tuna burger’ recipe though:

Mark- I love your writing, it’s intelligent and entertaining. Thanks for the research also, it’s really helped me and I know many others. I noticed you don’t write much about fish. Any reason? Should a person following MANS avoid it? If not, would you concur with popular wisdom that tuna and salmon are most beneficial of seafood in the MANS sceme of things?

As a raw food vegan strength trainer. I can vouch for Tahini blended with Raw chickpeas. Makes Hommus dip you can spread on anything. Also mixed raw nut products such as brazil, almond, cashew etc. And lot’s and lot’s of Spirulina. Not only high in protein but as a superfood it will provide explosive natural energy. The usual recommended daily dose of Spirulina is about 10grams. I would go for about 50-100gms a day. This product does not get much media as it can not be made in a factory, as a vegetable that must be farmed supply options are limited. It is possible to be a Vegan on MANS. Have been doing it for over a year and the results are great!

Its nice to see some mags like Men’s Health taking steps in the right direction. They had another article recently that I was suprised and happy to see but I can’t remember what it was now for the life of me.
