October 23, 2009 by Lynn Howard
Don’t overlook the most important factor in building lean muscle ” eating the correct foods. Most people sabotage their efforts at the gym by eating too much of the wrong foods two or three times a day. The key lies in eating the correct types of foods in small portions frequently throughout the day.
You will see that getting on a rock solid muscle building plan is not the hard part but staying true to it will require some dedication especially when you’re just starting out. In this article you’ll learn the answers to the three most common questions. What do I eat, how much, and how frequently?
Quantity: Firstly, you can never just take a number of calories out of a book and expect it to work for you. Everyone is different and responds differently to the foods they eat. The very first thing you need to do before even thinking of cutting calories is to accurately track what you’re eating and the calorie content of the food. There are many programs you can use to track this or just use a pencil, paper, and a calculator. Once you know exactly how much you’re consuming (and you have to realistic about his) you can adjust it accordingly. The trick is to reduce you’re overall daily caloric intake by small amounts no more than 5% at a time. This will prevent your body from going into starvation mode because you’re reducing your caloric intake slowly.
When should I eat? You should treat your body like you’re stoking a fire. Throw small bits of wood on it and it will burn hot and fast, throw a huge log on it and it will smolder for hours. The same is true for eating; eat small meals every 3 hours and you’ll get your metabolism burning like a raging fire.
What? One major key is to eat a lean protein with every meal. This simple yet difficult detail will get your metabolism on a steady hot burn and avoid blood sugar spikes that come from high carb diets. Lean protein means lean red meat, chicken, turkey, fish, and soy protein.
Be sure to eat these lean sources of protein along with fruits and vegetables. This will allow you to build lean muscle, recover from work outs faster, and help you loose weight.
