Will protein make my boobs grow?
I'm 13 and really flat-chested. Is anything I can do to speed up my development? I'm a really picky eater, and my mom thinks if I eat more protein it will help. Is this true, and is their anything else I can do?
Unfortunately, babe, there’s no sure-fire way to make your boobs grow (or shrink). While some sources do argue that protein can increase breast size, there’s no way to know for sure. However, consuming lean protein promotes cell growth within your body.
On a chemical level, protein is the foundation that your entire body is built upon. While your body might not be genetically predisposed to grow the boobs your yearning for, eating that protein will definitely help keep you in tip-top shape. Look for it in lean meats, poultry, dairy products, eggs, beans and soy products. Yum!
