Muscle Building "Superfoods"
Here's a pretty good list of "superfoods" for bodybuilding.
Eating For Muscle Gain
The list...
The problem I have with these types of lists is that some people tend to take them to mean that if they just eat these foods, they can expect good sized gains. I'll get emails from people confused as to why they aren't growing even though they eat an egg every morning and a tuna sandwich for lunch.
Always remember, it isn't just the quality of foods you put into your body, it is also the QUANTITY. To support muscle growth, you have to create a caloric surplus -- you have to give the body the raw materials it needs to build muscle above and beyond what it needs to keep you functioning.
The golden rule of muscle building...
It is when you eat a quality balanced diet (that includes solid choices like the muscle building superfoods above) and eat that diet in sufficient quantity to supply the body with surplus calories that you really have something.
When you consistently do that and add in a solid weight training program, you build muscle and grow like a weed.

If you aren't gaining, you aren't eating enough to gain.What and how much to eat to build muscle and gain weight?

Any kind of seafood causes my food allergies to flare up, but all of the other listed items have worked wonders for me.
as they say
"The Incredible Edible Egg!"
good article :)
Thanks for the appetizing list. I can hardly wait to chow down on some and pack those my muscles. My most favorite is beef. I love mine medium rare.
The biggest muscle
building mistake you can
make is doing routines
from muscle magazines.
Most of those guys don’t
train naturally, are
genetically gifted and
never started training
that way.
Great information!
A good bodybuilding diet and nutrition are key components that will determine how successful you are in your bodybuilding program. Training without proper nutrition is like rowing against the current. At best, you would remain on the same place or even move forward a little bit, but in the end, you get nowhere.
