What to Eat to help your exercise build Muscle

Wednesday, October 29th, 2008

The obvious answer is: Protein. Red meat, fish, chicken, eggs, even nuts and others help you in the journey towards muscle mass. But there are other foods that work indirectly to help you gain muscle. These foods include leafy green vegetables. By eating these, you will clean out your system and allow for cell repair to happen much faster than with protein alone.

If you have a problem with over eating, here’s a easy tip: eat a handful of peanuts or your favorite nuts 20 minutes before a meal. The oils in the nuts will go to your stomach and make your brain release the chemicals that tell you that you are full. It takes 20 minutes after beginning to eat something, that your brain alerts you that you’re full. But because you can easily eat 2000 calories in under 20 minutes, that 20 minutes is too much time and you would have already over eaten. Follow these tips and you’re sure to reduce fat, repair over worked and stressed cells, and not over eat. It’s simple tips like this that allow phenomenal muscle to grow.
