Men’s Nutrition Blueprint: Fuel Skin, Hair & Muscle with 5 Daily Power Foods
Why Nutrition Matters
Proper nutrition is the foundation for vibrant skin elasticity, strong hair follicles, and lean muscle tone. Without the right macro and micronutrients, typical routines and workouts can only go so far.
Daily Supplement & Macro Stack
- Collagen Peptides (1–2 g): Mix into morning coffee or smoothie to boost skin firmness and joint health. Visible improvements in 8–12 weeks.
- Biotin + B‑Complex: Supports keratin production for hair, nails, and energy metabolism. Take with breakfast.
- Vitamin D3 (2 000 IU): Essential for skin barrier repair and hormone regulation—critical in low-sun months.
- Omega‑3 Fish Oil (1 g EPA/DHA): Reduces inflammation, supports scalp health, and enhances muscle recovery.
- Protein (1.2–1.5 g/kg body weight): Aim for lean sources—whey isolate, Greek yogurt, egg whites—to fuel muscle tone and skin repair.
Quick Meal Hacks & Recipes
- Protein-Packed Breakfast: Spinach omelet with smoked salmon or whey protein pancakes with berries.
- Omega-3 Lunch: Salmon salad with mixed greens, avocado, and flaxseed oil vinaigrette.
- Skin-Boosting Snack: Greek yogurt parfait with kiwi, pumpkin seeds, and honey.
- Dinner Macro Balance: Grilled chicken or tofu, quinoa or sweet potato, steamed broccoli with lemon zest.
Pro Tip: Prep proteins and veggies on Sunday for grab-and-go meal bowls all week.

FAQs: Men’s Nutrition Basics
Q: How do I calculate my protein needs?
A: Multiply your body weight (kg) by 1.2–1.5 g. E.g., 80 kg × 1.4 g = 112 g protein daily.
Q: Can I get all nutrients from whole foods? A: Whole foods are ideal; supplements fill gaps—especially collagen, vitamin D, and fish oil on low-sun or low-fat diets.
