Your best overall source of protein is found in eggs, and don't forget those fruits and vegetables-they are absolutely vital. The smartest meat choice would be some turkey or chicken, and tuna is a good choice. -------------- I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is the moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle-victorious. --Vince Lombardi "Decide what you want, decide what you are willing to exchange for it.
