Muscle Building Foods You Need To Know About

Building muscle isn’t rocket science. Just include the right muscle building foods in your diet, train hard, get plenty of rest and you’ll pack on some serious mass.

If you’re reading this, I’m assuming you already know the basics.

To recap:

• You need to eat more food to create a calorie surplus
• A sensible muscle gain goal is one pound per week.
• You’ve got to train hard, and rest plenty.

Alright. Let’s keep moving forward.

The kinds of foods you eat matter when you’re trying to gain mass. Ideally, you don’t want to gain a bunch of fat along with your muscle. That’s why you still need to steer clear of junk food and eat clean.

With that in mind, here are 3 excellent muscle building foods you should include in your diet:

Eggs (including the yolk)

Eggs are nature’s perfect “super food.” They contain every amino acid your body and muscles need.

And in the yolk, you’ll find heart-healthy omega 3s along with a good dose of B vitamins, which are important to a lot of your body’s day-to-day functions.

There’s a lot of misconception that the cholesterol in eggs is bad for you. I’m no doctor and I’m presenting this information for entertainment purposes only, but it’s my opinion (from what I’ve read and experienced) that eggs aren’t a cause of high cholesterol.

Eating things like trans fats and hydrogenated vegetable oils are what truly causes bad cholesterol ratios.

That being said, I highly recommend you include eggs as a regular staple in your arsenal of muscle building foods.

Avocados

As a society, we’ve been programmed to avoid fat. But the truth is healthy fats are good for you.

After all, your brain is made up of 60% fat. And fat is used in literally every cell of your body.

I recommend you eat Haas avocados as they’re fattier and contain plenty of omega 3s. Plus, they go great in salads or as a side in any meal.

It’ll boost your daily calories and at the same time give your body the healthy fat it needs.

Grass-Fed Beef

Red meat has gotten a bad rap. But if you look at the bodybuilders of old, they all included eggs and red meat as their muscle building foods.

And they were right.

Red meat is a rich source of Omega 3s and CLA. Both excellent for your health and muscle building efforts.

Obviously, it’s also high in protein.

But here’s the thing…

I only recommend you include grass-fed, free-range beef in your array of muscle building foods. That’s because the commercial meat found at your grocery store has usually been pumped full of hormones, and fed an unnatural diet that changes the fat ratios and quality of the meat.

Well, that’s it in a nutshell. Include the three muscle building foods I just told you about in your diet to give you that extra edge.  And remember to train hard and get plenty of rest. Do that and you’ll get big in no time flat!
