Planning meals for the entire week makes it much easier to cover different nutrients instead of eating the same things daily

Anabolic steroids can increase muscle protein synthesis which helps the body build muscle tissue faster than it normally would

I think blood tests can be useful when there is a reason to suspect a deficiency instead of guessing based on symptoms
