Muscle Building Diet
With this article, I just wanted to share with you one of my special meal plans that I love muscle. Surprisingly, it actually comes in the form of a salad, but it is killer!
I know the ladies will love this idea, but for all of you out there that think eating a salad makes less of a man … Well, you have not tried my salad "at the end roids" yet!
Keep in mind that this salad is not low in calories. Not poor in fat. Is not low in carbohydrates.
And guess what … that's the whole point! Not low on anything, but it sure as hell is rich in everything under the sun is good for your body … almost all the vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients and antioxidants on the planet! And that means your body will receive all the food it needs to maintain optimal hormonal balance, due to increased capacity is to keep your appetite satisfied for hours, and avoid unwanted cravings.
Keep in mind that the last point … When you fill your body with all the nutrients you need daily, you virtually eliminate fully the wishes! This is because your body is satisfied and not need to crave more food, because it has all the nutrients they need.
I tried that. Years ago, I used crave sweets ALL THE TIME. But now that I eat a balanced diet that I do today, I can not say I had a craving for at least five years! No joke.
Okay, here's the recipe special muscle meal plan:
The Ultimate Muscle Salad
about 1-2 cups spinach leaves
about 1-2 cups of mixed lettuce
shredded carrots
1 / 2 a ripe avocado, diced
2 boiled eggs, diced (preferably organic, cage-free)
3 tablespoons chopped pecans
1 / 4 cup dried cranberries
top with homemade dressing made of balsamic vinegar, extra virgin olive oil and Udo's Choice Oil Blend (3 / 4 full of liquid should come from the vinegar)
Mix all together and you has a delicious and ridiculously nutritious salad. For an extra dose of antioxidants, wash everything down with some homemade iced green / white oolong tea lightly sweetened with natural sweetener Stevia or a little touch of raw honey.
Alright, now let's look at the macronutrient breakdown about:
Prot: 23 g Carbohydrates: 48 g, Fiber: 12 grams, fat: 45 g, Calories: 650
Now, before throwing his arms up in disgust and call me crazy for recommending this fat, flour high-calorie, keep in mind to scale back the portion sizes for your own caloric goal. The plots above are only the parts that I use, whereas my maintenance caloric intake is about 3000 calories / day. If your maintenance is 2000 calories / day, then scale back the Parties accordingly.
Also, I do not care about the high-fat meal … because every last gram of fat in this meal is very healthy … of pecans, olive oil, Udo oil, fresh avocado … and yes, even the fat in eggs is good for you!
How about the carbs? Well, out of a total of 48 grams, you have 12 grams of fiber. This is a very good relationship. Moreover, the healthy fats and protein in this meal will slow the digestion of carbohydrates, giving you a healthy glycemic response of blood sugar stable and controlled.
Okay, so you 're probably also wondering why there is a greater amount of protein. After all, protein is all the rage with bodybuilders, right. Well, actually 23 grams is not too shabby, especially considering 14 grams of protein that is highly bioavailable from cooked eggs. Also consider that this meal has a lot of healthy fats, which increases the use of its protein. This happens because the body does not need to use your protein energy, and can use it instead of muscle building and maintenance, and all other functions different amino acids that are needed in body.
Overall, this meal plan, you have a great mix of healthy fats, good fiber carbohydrates, protein quality and a huge diversity of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and other trace nutrients.
