Muscle Building Diet Plan: Bulk Up Fast

A good diet plan is vital for anyone wanting to gain muscle and weight. A good diet is what makes you gain quality muscle and proper nutrition is what makes muscles grow, along with a solid weight lifting routine of course.

Mastering the principles of nutrition is the key to building muscle, training obviously has an effect but if you do not have the right foods to feed your muscles then you wont grow its simple biology folks.

The following key principles i am going to share with you are key for designing your new muscle building diet plan.

Eat Often – Every 3 - 4 Hours

If you want to gain more muscle then you need to feed your body more, you can expect to gain muscle with only 3 meals a day.

Aim for 6-7 meals a day for your muscle building diet. Try the following split:

Meal 1 - Breakfast
Meal 2 - Meal replacement powder / Protein drink
Meal 3 - Lunch
Meal 4 - Meal Replacement Powder / Snack
Meal 5 - Dinner
Meal 6 - Protein drink

The above is just a simple example of how to fit 6 meals into your day, you do not have to have protein drinks etc and can just have a high protein snack such as a meat sandwich or something. Use your imagination and be creative, never eat the same meal twice in a day otherwise you will get bored.


Eat A Variety Of Foods

Constantly change what you eat and think of different meals, if you don't have variety you are more likely to give up. Change is good so keep your body guessing.


Eat More Calories

It is as easy as it sounds and all muscle building diet plan need to be high in calories. If you consume more calories then you burn your body will grow. Its easy and possible the most important part of gaining weight.


Try this simple math

Your bodyweight in lbs x 18 = How many calories you need a day

Your calories need to come from a combination of Proteins, Carbohydrates and healthy Fats.

 


Eat 30-40 Grams Of Protein Per Meal

Your muscle building diet plan will require extra protein in them to build muscle in each meal you should aim to eat between 30 and 40 grams of proteins. You can eat more then this but your body may find it hard to absorb it.

Some good sources of proteins are as follows.

Eggs
Milk
Protein powders
Chicken
Fish
Cottage cheese
Beef
Turkey
Other meats
Nuts

 

Plan Your Meals

This is the most important tip i am going to give you. You must plan your meals in advance, this will not only keep you motivated but save you time and will stop you from eating foods that are not in your muscle building diet plan.

Your daily food intake should be spit as follows

25-30% Proteins

65-70% Carbohydrates

05-10% Fats

When planning my meals I would sit down the night before and use my training diary and plan what I was going to eat and when I was going to eat it. I have no doubt that this planning was the main reason that I kept to my diet and always knew what I was going to be eating next.
