How to Eat to Gain Muscle ?
You need to train very smart. This means knowing how nutrition works
and how to use it for your own Fitness and strength gains. This
works for anyone and everyone, be it for general fitness maintenance or
muscle mass gain.
To get you started, here is the Perfect ten foods to help you gain more muscle mass and strength .
1. Oatmeal
For
Breakfast Oatmeal is an ideal source of carbs due to both its low
glycemic index (GI) value and the fact it is minimally processed. The
benefits of a low GI diet are as follows:
-
Better micronutrient profile and more fiber
-
Increased satiety
-
Decreased hunger
-
Lower subsequent energy intake (second meal effect)
-
Fat loss
2. Lean Beef
This should be a STAPLE of your diet if you want to gain muscle mass.
Why? Because it is loaded with all sorts of things conducive to muscle
growth. On average, a three-ounce serving of lean beef is only 154
calories, yet it provides ten essential nutrients, including iron, zinc
and B-vitamins. More importantly, it provides your body with high
quality protein (not all proteins are equal), and a high level of amino
acid that works with insulin to promote muscle growth. For those who are
trying to lose weight, this should come as great news – a 3 ounce
serving of lean beef provides roughly the same amount of protein as 1.5
cups of beans, but at half the calories .
3. Skinless Chicken
Like beef, it is an excellent source of high quality protein, which
is important for muscle maintenance and repair, bone health, and weight
maintenance. And of course, there are so many ways you can cook and
prepare chicken. Go down to the store and you can easily find chicken
meat cut into single serving sizes that can be seasoned and quickly
cooked.
4. Eggs
Eggs contain high quality protein, nine essential amino acids, choline, the right kind of fat, and vitamin D.
To sum it up, they are the most value for money. And please note, eggs
are not harmful for your health, as numerous studies have already shown.
5. Cottage Cheese
Not many people know this, but cottage cheese constitutes relatively
pure casein protein. For those who don’t know, casein protein is a
slow-digesting protein, which means it is perfect for muscle
maintenance. This is useful especially for guys who have no choice but
to go long periods without eating. Not forgetting, cottage cheese is
also an excellent source of vitamin B12, calcium, and other important nutrients. My advice: buy the nonfat/low-fat versions.
6. Whey Protein
There is a reason why whey protein supplements
are the most popular supplement in the bodybuilding world: because they
provide a fast and convenient source of protein at an affordable price.
Bodybuilders normally use them when they wake up, right after their
workout, and mixed with some of their meals. However, for those of us
non-bodybuilders, simply using it right after our workouts
can be very effective for muscle mass gains. Do not rely on it
completely though. It’s more important to get high quality protein from whole foods, and use whey protein as a boost.
7. Tuna and Other Fish
High in protein, low in fat, and rich in omega-3 fatty acids. The key
here is omega-3 fatty acids. They are essential, not only for health
reasons, but also because they improve fat loss and ensure the proper function of your body processes, such as your metabolism.
8. Fruits and Vegetables
Firstly,
fruits and vegetables are a rich source of antioxidants, which are
essential for the healthy functioning of your immune system. Secondly,
they provide tons of other nutrients, such as vitamin C, vitamin E, and
beta-carotene. Finally, your body requires the fiber these fruits and
vegetables provide, which helps to flush out the substances your body
does not need.
Whole grains digest more efficiently and provide more nutrients than
refined grains, and as such promote sustained energy levels and overall
health. For instance, brown rice can help boost your growth hormone
levels, which are critical for encouraging lean muscle growth, fat loss,
and strength gains.
10. Healthy Fats
Finally
Healthy Fats and i meen the good fats , because good
fats are essential for muscle growth. In fact, they play an essential
role in hormone production (testosterone and growth hormones) that is
responsible for muscle growth and strength gains. Your metabolic rate is
elevated as well, which helps you shed more fats.
In addition, fats are needed for many important maintenance functions.
Polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats are the good fats. You can find
them in salmon, other fishes, nuts, leafy veggies, oils such as
flaxseed, avocados, and seeds. They are also all rich in omega-3 and
omega-6 fatty acids .
Now After you know what to eat, you're going to need a great training plan.
