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?
How Much? In order to effectively determine how much you need to eat you need to know where you're starting from. So take on the task of charting or tracking your caloric intake per meal and day for about 2 weeks. You'll then have an accurate picture of how much you're consuming. Most people are surprised by this number. Now that you have determined your average intake you can reduce the overall caloric intake by very small amounts until your body adjusts to it. Typically, a overall caloric reduction of 5% at a time should be safe. This will prevent you're body from going into starvation mode.
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.
Eating these foods along with a good mixture of fruits and veggies will help you recover faster from workouts and lose weight fast.
