Muscle Building Diets - What Foods Do I Eat While on Muscle Building Diets?

Many of us have trouble gaining weight. We continue to strength train and train, only to get minimal results, our body will only allow us to have so much muscle tone. We try and try to put on weight, for bigger muscle gain, but it sometimes seems impossible. Well what I have found is there are several muscle building diets out there that can help us pack on the pounds and gain muscle mass.  

Before we talk about what foods to eat while on muscle building diets, we need to discuss how often we eat. You want to eat every two and a half to three hours, making your first meal within 15 - 30 minutes of waking up. You don't want to make these a full course meal; however you do want it to me nutritious, and full of protein.  

So what foods do we eat while on these diets? Well in one word, protein. Ok, now in several words, fish, chicken, turkey and sea food. Those offer the highest amount of protein, and are really tasty at the same time. You can look up recipes that include these protein filled foods. If you are eating high protein foods every 2 - 3 hours while continuing your work out regime, you will start to see huge muscle mass gains.  

While on muscle building diets, you will also want to take a multi-vitamin, along with some whey protein supplement. I usually have a whey protein shake for breakfast, I add a banana and raw egg to the shake, and give it that extra protein boost. You want to eat a variety of foods, take the foods listed above, and get several different recipes, and add some vegetables to them, so you can have a variety, and not eat the same thing everyday.  

Building muscle is an eating game. Not eating enough calories is like trying to buy a $45,000 car with only $15,000 in your bank account. If you are not gaining 2 - 3 pounds per week, then you need to add some carbohydrates and protein to your meals. You can add this to either your pre work out meal or post work out meal; the important thing is to add to it, so that you are gaining at least 2 - 3 pounds every week.  

Another important thing to remember while using while on these diets is to eat 40 - 60 grams of protein and 60 - 80 grams of carbohydrates per meal. As far as fat is concerned you want to consume 20 - 30 grams per meal. Follow this advice and you will be well on your way to gaining muscle mass fast.
