Eat This to Build Muscle Quick

By Caleb Lee

When people start working out and want to build muscle quick, while losing fat, most already know they have to eat healthy.

First, let's explore what eating healthy means.

You can basically stay eating the same way you are, but just upgraded a little. It won't cost any different. It's like you're just switching brands of soda. Same price for different flavors....

You don't have to give up many foods and stay eating green! You need multiple nutrients when you are trying to build muscle, and only eating green, like salads, won't help you in the long run. Yes, of course you will see some weight loss, but this will make you sick and weak, because you're not getting the nutrients you need to build muscle.

The 3 nutrients you need for building muscle quick and lose fat are proteins, carbohydrates, and home grown items.

To build muscle quick, you need protein. Protein is your muscles food and will help it recover fast and bigger. This will allow you to recover fast, after working out. You can get this protein from eggs, fish, chicken, and lean red meat. When it comes to eggs, eat the yolk, too, because it has good protein and vitamins. Salmon is a good fish for protein, also containing Omega-3 fatty acids and Vitamin D.

Next on the list are carbohydrates. These will provide your body as its energy source when you are working out. This will mean your body will work off these before going to your body fat food energy. You might say, "I want to eat fewer carbohydrates so that my body eats fat right away, so it burns more." And those of you who do that, you couldn't be more right! However, you will also feel the burn! While you work out, your body will begin to ache, burn, and cramp faster than if you had carbohydrates. This is where you need to remember that your body also builds muscle outside of the gym. Carbohydrates only last for so long, and most will be burned up during the work out. This means the rest will be soon burned up after your work out, and then your body will look for your fat as its secondary choice. Eating carbohydrates for energy only saves you the instant pain and annoying aches while you try to get a good work out in.

Carbohydrates come from many things. Most people think of bread. Try to stay away from the high processed and sugar foods for this. Look into oats, cereal, and pasta. Yogurt is also good for both carbohydrates and protein. Eating some type of carbohydrates after your work out will help with your recovery time, giving that added boost for energy to your body.

Home grown vegetables and fruits contain vitamins, fiber, and minerals that all help in rebuilding and preventing sickness by building up your immune system.

Mainly eat foods with good sources of protein, carbohydrates, vitamins, fiber, and minerals that will all help to build muscle quick. - 17269
