There are things you’ll need to know about, more than just working out, if you are looking to gain muscle quickly.
Â
Diet is important; you have to eat correctly to recover the energy spent while exercising.
Â
Lasting muscle gain quickly comes from doing it the healthy way; you’ll also avoid side effects.
Â
First you will need to know that a diet rich in fats is not the way to gain muscle.
Â
Health problems can result in a diet that is too high in fats and oils, heart and blood sugar among them.
Â
Make yourself a chart of foods that are varied and include lots of carbohydrates and proteins.
Â
You can avoid cholesterol by picking foods from the fruits, vegetable and whole grain families for sources of carbohydrates.
Â
Fast muscle building can be achieved by eating quality rice, potatoes and pasta. Add a little fat to make up for the energy lost during exercise.
Â
Great healthy fats and oils include olive oil, flax seed oil and fish oils. These give you the energy you need but don’t put you at risk for health problems.
Â
To add protein to your diet try a healthful salad topped with a chicken breast. Choose vegetables like broccoli and asparagus for the salad.
Â
Pick healthy foods for every meal of the day. Add a glass of milk to your breakfast of a banana and whole grain cereal.
Â
Lunch can be a meal of pasta or rice with protein rich chicken or fish. Then go for a light dinner of a chicken salad and a whole grain roll.
Â
To get an idea of a balanced diet I have included a meal chart, designed to gain muscle, and reduce body fat. For breakfast, a bowl of curd with 2 sides of fruit such as an apple and a small banana. Two pieces of toast, those have low trans-fat, such as peanut butter. And one boiled egg.
Â
Snack or Mid-morning meal: A glass of fruit juice or a fruit. Lunch: Two ragi roti or roti made with wheat bran. A bowl of grilled vegetables. A serving of grilled chicken or turkey. Large salad and a bowl of spinach soup.
Â
Â
Keep variety in your choice of meals and watch that healthy food help you gain muscle.
