Food to Eat for Muscle Gain
If you need to add a few pound of muscle on your body the most important thing is what you eat and how is your nutrition plan. Your muscles need hard workout, a lot of healthy food and enough rest to grow and you must follow all of these three important things.
Your muscles won't grow while you are in gym, you stimulate them to grow in the gym, then you fuel your muscles and they growing while you resting. But it is very important what food you eat, you shouldn't eat whatever just to fill all the calories in your body, that is not advisable. You could get more fat than muscle that way and if you want to look good and be strong having a big stomach is not what you are looking for.
Do you know how some people get those amazing Six Packs? By having good meal plan, not because they do many sit-ups and crunches. Meal plan is very important, remember that.
In order to get muscle mass, you have to eat a lot, that is for sure. You need to eat 500 calories more than it is enough to keep your weight, which means you need to be in caloric surplus. Also, you need to consume all macro-nutrients protein, carbs and good fat for you muscles to grow. I will make a list of food that you need to eat if you want to get big and strong:
- Eggs - Very good for breakfast, eat 5 cooked eggs and you will consume 30 grams of protein and about 500 calories
- Oatmeal - Also good for breakfast, aside from eggs as great source of carbohydrates, 100 grams of Oatmeals contain more than 70 grams of Carbs and about 16 grams of Protein
- Chicken, Turkey, Low-Fat Beef - You need to eat a lot of meat to consume all the proteins that you need, they are great source of protein, 100 grams of chickens breast have about 30 grams of Protein
- Brown Rice - Great source of carbohydrates, can be prepared with meat for a great meal that contains a lot of proteins and carbs
- Fish - Very good source of Protein and Omega 3 fats
- Nuts - Good source of good fats and also protein (Peanuts, Almonds, Walnuts..), also contains a lot of calories, good for snacks
Make a good meal plan with food from my list and add some Protein Shakes and other supplements for Mass Gain and you will get more muscle mass in short period.
