So it's clear that a correct muscle building diet is an all-important part of any bodybuilding routine. So what do the pro-bodybuilders recommend as the ultimate muscle building diet?
Before noting what to eat, it's important to know that it's better to eat up to 7 smaller meals a day, rather than 3 big ones, for optimum results. This is because bodybuilders eat a lot more protein than normal, and the body can only absorb a certain amount of protein at a time. That is, there is a limit as to how much protein (in grams) your body can absorb at any one time.
So, for people who work out after work, their meal times could be something like what follows:
7am - breakfast
10am - light meal
1pm - lunch
4pm - light meal
6pm - post-workout supplement
7pm - supper
10pm - before bed protein.
As just mentioned, for lean muscle and a low body-fat percentage, the diet consists of a lot of protein and quite few carbs. Proteins include whey (usually in supplement form), eggs (mostly egg whites), lean beef, skinless chicken, and tuna. A good variety of these works best, as they each contain a unique combination of amino acids that the body needs to build muscle.
Try and consume only complex carbs (like pasta and fruit) and avoid breads and cakes, etc.
A good muscle building diet takes preparation and discipline, but it is one of the greatest things you can do to gain maximum muscle in minimum time and the least amount of effort. Start taking action to gain your muscles by Downloading your Muscle Gaining Secrets eBook now!
