15 Foods That Build Muscle- Top Muscle Building Foods

Eating the right foods is just as important as training hard. It can actually determine how fast you build quality muscle. So, what I'm going to do is share with you 15 foods that build muscle. That way, you can quickly and easily build muscle mass in a short amount of time.

The top 15 foods you should eat to build muscles are:

1. Steak (red meat)- good source of protein. Steak has vitamins and other nutrients in it that are crucial for muscle growth. The fats in steak has been shown to help increase your testosterone. If you're serious about putting on muscle, add this to your meal plan.

2. Brown Rice- great carbohydrate source. Slow digesting, which means it won't spike your insulin levels.

3. Pasta- great source of carbs. Two cups provide about 90 grams of high-quality carbs. This will definitely help you build muscles.

4. Avocado- Helps increase your testosterone and also has other health benefits.

5. Eggs- This is a must if you are trying to build muscles. Great protein source.

6. Chicken- Lean protein. Great for anytime of the day.

7. Fruits (apples, bananas, strawberries)- Carbohydrate source. Also, fruits have many health benefits.

8. Oatmeal- Complex carb. Great for helping with carb intake.

9. Turkey- Great for lunch. Excellent protein source.

10. Salmon- Good source of protein. Salmon has omega fatty acids in it. Its a serious mass builder. You should eat this at least three times a week.

11. Cottage cheese- slow-digesting protein. Cottage cheese is a great late night snack.

12. Salad- Add olive oil and vinegar to your salad. It has alot of health benefits.

13. Tuna- Lean protein source. Tuna also has fatty acids in it. It's great for helping with muscle growth.

14. Whole wheat bread- Great carb source.

15. Almonds- Great as a snack. Almonds have a decent amount of protein in it. It also has healthy fats in it. And is good for increasing testosterone levels.

Eating these foods is important if you're trying to build muscle. Don't skip meals. Make sure you eat every 2-3 hours. You should intake at least 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight per day and 1.5 grams of carbs per pound of body weight per day.

An example would be if you weighed 200 pounds, you would consume 200 grams of protein per day and 300 grams of carbs per day. This will ensure that your body is constantly in "muscle-building" mode. If you don't intake enough protein, your muscles won't grow.

These are the 15 foods that build muscle. Add them to your meal plan. Train hard. Drink plenty of water. And watch how fast your muscles grow.

i burn 600-800 calories at the gym everyday?


i have a cup of cerial and coffee in the morning. some fruit and a light snack in the afternoon, then half of a large salad and a piece of chocolate for my sugar craving at night.

i would think that over the next three months i should loose a decent amount of weight, but im not a body builder or nutritionist soooo is my diet and exercise routine going to do me good? or a waste of time considering what i want for my outcome.

i know the only secret is eating right and exercising, but i'm just anxious to know if what im doing is beneficial.

Skipping meals or not eating doesn't make you loose weight and will only make your irritable. You want to loose weight in  moderate fashion so that your body doesn't gain all the weight back as soon as you eat normally too. It's quantity over quality at this moment. Eat every 2-2.5 hours, small meals, relatively something under 170 cals. per meal, 5-7 times A day. Reduce your caloric intake to 1,200-1,300 calories and your total fat grams to less than 25-35grams. I'm Vegetarian and I have a lot of protein, tons of snacks, and healthy foods to choose from. I barely work out and I’m super thin; WALK...it is actually better than running....running makes your ankles weak over time. If you do run, jog on the treadmill with no incline. Try the bike too. A thin person is this way because it is 90% of what we eat and 10% workout/exercise. With cardio, the belly is burning fat btw b/c you are sweating all over-Not a lot of people know that walking on treadmill and or walking inside/outside burns fat around the mid section...but it is so true. If you’re into sit ups, you should try AT LEAST to do 3 sets of 10 on a mat. If you’re not familiar with sit ups, just ask personal trainers at a gym one day-you can just walk in and ask them-they wouldn't hesitate to answer. ALSO IMPORTANT: Do not use incline o.k.with bike, treadmill, and or bike ok? -because your thighs will get bigger. If you already have bigger thigh Muscles they will continue to maintain the "bigness" and or increase their size. Let's be aware too that it is impossible to gain muscle while doing cardio. But hey, if you want to burn fat faster BUT GAIN A LITTLE MUSCLE TOO then try a little resistance!! :) Cardio also will burn the extra little fat that is covering muscles so yay for cardio. Tapes of Cardio Burning or fat burning or Belly fat burning could work in your case too Or Buy a treadmill or bike so that this will always be available for you to do...join a gym if u want too.
 
Being a person that eats red meat or dairy once in a while is the best to try right now for you. Just at least cut down on red meat. Red meat are  foods that stay inside your intestines which I would imagine would make you weigh more on scale than you should. I’m not trying to promote becoming a vegetarian, but giving this a try could help with swifter weight loss. Drinking lots of tea like white, raspberry, and green for example will help too.

Having a high protein diet is good in loosing fat, and keeping lean muscles, because usually the more protein is in a food-the less calories from fat and bad fat (trans fat and saturated fat)..I eat lots of beans (Lima, Pinto, kidney, black, navy- RAW; never in can(but that is just my choice-if you wanted canned its NO PROBLEM). No sugar applesauce is great too and a great snack-find it in jar form or mini cases. Try Quinoa too, you can find it in your grain, beans, or nut aisles. You can sprinkle it on all veggies and salads. I also eat lots of salad with tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, and carrots! Oatmeal is a fabulous choice too-the old fashion version though. You can eat salad with no dressing too or dressing that has 50 calories per two tablespoons. Try Bear Naked products-particularly what I only eat of this product are 2 of the many which are Bear Naked's Fit, Vanilla Almond Crunch and Bear Naked's Fit Triple Berry Crunch. The entire kosher aisle has manyyyy products to munch on like Matzos that go up to 150 calories per cracker. I like the 100-110 calories per cracker. Try Edamame (soy beans) too! - Tons of protein! (Veggie section even though it’s a bean loll)-get the non gmo kind. Dairy, hnmm well cheese-I'd suggest you go for yogurt over cheese and id cut back off the cheese for awhile because of the high saturated fat which is fat that is difficult for the body to break down thus causing unnecessary places for fat to sit on body because it doesn't know how to appropriately break it down. Try a yogurt called "Fage 0" or "Chobani" yogurt. ALL vegetables are fun and easy to cook-broccoli, asparagus, yams, pumpkin, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower-and you can do whatever you want with it (boil, steam, baked...etc.) Try having your meals with colors of the vegetables. For example, if you make grilled chicken or fish then make sure there are tomatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots on that plate! Oh hey, when you are buying bread or wheat, if the label doesn't say 100% whole wheat then chances are that it is not whole wheat. Make sure you get the 100% whole wheat ones (it will say “WHOLE” wheat as its first ingredient) on foods and carbohydrates aka grains. There is also absolutely no sugar in Matzos btw (sugar if not burned turns into fat). I bake Matzos for about 2 minutes and then break them up into squares so it looks like chips! Oh, did I mention they are extremely delicious!? Miso soups and brown rice are great too and cut back or limit your refined foods.
