CHINESE FIVE SPICED BEEF AND BROCCOLI STIR FRY

 

We need 30grams of pure protein minimum per serve to obtain enough leucine for muscle and protein synthesis within the body.  Any less than this amount of leucine- less than that 30grams of pure protein and we do not get protein synthesis within the body, the protein we eat turns to calories only.
(Professor Donald Layman; Head of The Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign)

220 grams of beef contains 31grams of protein
Hence this meal serves two! (with a little extra left, over)
