Can I still build muscle if I eat mostly frozen foods and microwave meals?

Not everyone has the time (or the will) to grill chicken breast and steam zucchini every single day. And I know that very well. There was a time — a long one, like years — when my diet was 80% ready meals, 15% protein powder, and 5% fruit forgotten in my backpack.? And yet… the […]
