The correct answer is Proteins.

Key Points

  •  Proteins are known as bodybuilding food as they are essential for muscle growth and repair.
  •  They contain amino acids that help in building and repairing muscles after a workout.
  •  Protein-rich foods include chicken, fish, eggs, beans, lentils, and dairy products.
  • Proteins are needed for the growth and repair of our body.
  • Food containing proteins is called bodybuilding food.
  • Examples of food rich in protein are beans, dal, meat, soybean.

Additional Information

  •   Fats are important for providing energy and insulation to the body, but excessive fat consumption can lead to weight gain and health issues.
  •  Carbohydrates are the primary source of energy for the body and are important for athletes, but too much carbohydrate consumption can lead to weight gain and insulin resistance.
  • Vitamins are essential for overall health and well-being, but they do not directly contribute to muscle growth or repair. However, certain vitamins such as vitamin D and B12 can help in the absorption of protein and aid in muscle recovery.
