Whats the best type of food for your muscles?

Answer 1

Egg is considered a protein, so basiclly you would simply invest in some protein shake's from GMC or etc. to improve body mass. Be smart and eat smart! Protein is high on the list as the above poster said. Meats, eggs, different protein shakes, but you should also introduce lots of vegetables, fruits and dairy products and drink 8 - 8 ounce glasses of water a day (or more if you are perspiring heavier) and power drinks to get the salt back into your system. Be carefull not to go over board on Protein most body builders take in to much protein and end up putting on alot of bad fat. Take more carbohydrates then protein. Carbs can be white meat e.g Fish and chicken. Take Omega3 fish oil tablets as well they are a great source of energy as they are EFA - essential fatty acids which are alot like carbs and can give the same energy but deposit next to no fat!.

Answer 2

You're gonna want to eat a lot of complex carbohydrates, protein and healthy fats. For example for carbs Sweet potato Brown rice Whole grain bread Protein Lean chicken Turkey Steak Fats Avocado Olive oil Almonds To pack on mass you need t eat an excess of calories because calories directly translate into mass as long as you're eating the right stuff. So I'd recommend eating about 6 meals throughout the day all consisting of smaller portions of a combination of carbs protein and fats.

Answer 3

Working with weights will help with muscle mass. The Framingham Disability Study found that people who lift small weights in enough repetitions to trigger muscle exhaustion can build muscles without moving on to higher weights. Emphasize the lowering of the weight as you lift weights. This is called the "eccentric contraction." Your muscles are actually stronger as you lower the weight than as you lift it.

You can decide to use different muscle groups on different days. Most people who start to lift weights will experience muscle exhaustion after their first few Weightlifting sessions. It is likely to be painful and reduce your range of motion, but try to move normally and stretch your muscles gently.

Drink plenty of water and eat foods with plenty of protein. Protein helps to rebuild your muscle fibers. A good mix of protein, carbohydrates and a small amount of fat is important for keeping your muscles healthy. Try to avoid processed and sugary foods.

You need to cut calories more than anything as this will get your weight down. Exercise alone will not do it.

Answer 4

Whether you're trying to build muscle or just to be healthy, you ought to eat more protein (meat, eggs, cheese) and fewer carbohydrates (bread, pasta, grains) than the current "received wisdom" of dietary specialists have recommended. It's no exaggeration to say that the number one cause of child obesity is following the USDA approved diet.
