Basic Muscle Building Diet Tips
Posted In: Bodybuilding, Food & Nutrition

Just starting out with your bodybuilding program? Here are some basic things to think about when creating your muscle building diet plan…
1. Muscles require high quality nutrients supplied at short intervals to grow:
Quality nutrition is indispensable to gain Muscle. If you have a negative calorie deficit then you are wasting your time in the gym. Its absolutely crucial that you take eating seriously if you really want to build muscle.
2. To Build Muscle you must eat, eat and then eat some more:
The number 1 reason people call themselves Hard gainers is that they simply do not eat enough. After an intense workout the body craves high quality nutrients to repair itself and get ready for next workout. This training and eating cycle will force your body to add muscle to deal with the upcoming intense training session. Follow this advice and it will save you a lot of frustration and time waste in the gym.
3. Eat 5-6 meals everyday:
More than 3 hours without food leads your body no option but to tear itself and use that energy for fuel. This is called Catabolism. Its the enemy to Muscle Building (Anabolism).
Remember, we recently talked about the catabolic effects of cortisol in a past article. You have to get rid of the conventional practice of eating 3 large meals. Keep your body in a state of positive nitrogen balance and it will grow beyond belief. Just try it.
4. Maximize the Muscle Building Process:
There are 3 important meals which will maximize your Muscle building process. They are the breakfast, post-workout meal, and bedtime Meal. We will discuss in detail how to plan these in a future post.
5. Never exercise on empty stomach:
Energy demands are highest during your workouts, and you would not expect to win a race with no fuel for example.
