I'm in the later stages of benzo withdrawal and have lost a bit of weight that I want to regain. I'm 6'1, ~170lb right now (I'm lean as shit though) and want to gain as much as possible. Most of the exercise I do is based on gaining explosiveness rather than size, but I will do some weight training to improve overall strength (again... sigh).
Now to the topic at hand, as I said I'm still in benzo w/d and so I get frustrated pretty easily. Searching for the best sources of protein gives me a lot of opinions and really, my patience can't handle this at the moment. Previously in life when I really bulked up, I was in boot camp and was fed lots of beans, which certainly worked, but I really don't know the science behind it. Most of the exercise I've done outside of that has been on a diet of just "more food". I'm already eating quite a bit of food, maybe 4,000 calories and 100g protein per day (rough estimate) but I want to optimize what I'm eating to get the best results. So, what are the best things to eat for someone like me who wants to build lean muscle?
