Here’s a thing about what I will talk about going forward that I know you will undoubtedly love… you get too eat frequently. Truth is, I do insist. Try 6 or 7 times every day. Now, I’m not say 6 visits to Big Al’s Big Bites daily. If you’d do this, then the only big thing will be your gut and your butt.
However, I’m telling you to to eat frequently and to also eat less. By eating 6 or 7 easy-to-fix or easy-to-find simple meals and mini-meals (or snacks) during the day, you certainly will not go hungry as you follow these programs. There are several good reasons for this, all supported by research.
If you consume smaller, yet frequent meals throughout the day it enables your body to best benefit from all the nutrients and in turn will give you and your body the maximum chance of building muscle. Simply put, you HAVE TO feed your body in order to grow.
It makes absolutely no sense for you to stuff yourself at the dinner table in the hopes that you will grow big. Your body simply cannot consume all the nutrients so what happens is, you flush all the rest down the toilet! What a waste!
Through eating frequent meals, your body can consume and process all the necessary nutrients and in turn will help your body maintain a tissue-building or anabolic state.
This in turn makes it possible to burn off excess fat. All the calories will be used up rather than being stored as fat. Simple as that
I will provide you with a large number of diets that are not only yummy but also nutritious as well as well-balanced. A correct ratio of protein, carbs and fats will be maintained that will help you build muscle when you follow all the programs. The formula is: 20% – 25% fats, 15 % health proteins as well as the leftover 60% – 65% which will be carbs.
Now, maybe you were expecting diets filled with nothing but protein. Many gym junkies will tell you that you should consume huge amounts of protein in order to build muscle. Obviously you’ve heard this before. I realize the high-protein eating plans have been the latest “buzz” recently… yet again. While protein is in fact a crucial part of your diet, you’re probably getting enough already. So don’t stress too much about this.
All the eating plans on this website is big on carbohydrates due to the fact carbohydrate food are easier to convert into energy than protein. This is important because if you use carbs to burn energy, all that good protein remains untouched and can be used to repair your muscle fibers and in turn stimulate muscle growth. Isn’t that what you want?
You don’t have to worry that diets I will share will only be loved by skinny, celery eating Super Models. On the contrary, it will be healthy as well as hearty meals.
You could have, for instance, a mushroom omelette along with a slice rye bread and some milk, coffee and also grapefruit in the mornings. A tuna sandwich at lunch time plus a chicken breast, baked potato (with butter), vegetables and some berries for dinner. Also add between 3 and 4 snacks (like mini meals) each day. This is hardly a crappy diet, yet it is one that can help you slim down when combined with a good training program.
One other important factor about these eating plans is timing. Studies have shown that eating a variety of carbs and also healthy proteins just before and right after your workout can be an advantage when it comes to building muscle. This is due to the fact that these 2 nutrients combined helps fight the harmful chemical reactions that result from heavy workout sessions. This in turn shortens the recovery times, soreness and also builds muscles faster and bigger.
Can’t think of anything better than that to be honest.
In the training plans I will show you, you will eat snacks containing a 4:1 ratio. This will be consumed within an hour of you having finished your workout for the day. It’s actually really simple and easy as there are so many options to choose from.
Obviously there will be times where you will be either on a business trip or on vacation and you will most probably be eating out a lot. This is going to be a challenge for any dedicated person, so I will be helping you in this regard aswell.
First, I’ll be sharing some amazing tips on how to manage all the calories when you go on trips. It is easy-to-remember stuff… Really. For example: When you order a salad, just ask for the dressing on the side. This way you have complete control over how much you indulge.
Best of all, I will give you a good amount of strategies for restaurants you can can visit without the need to feel guilty. With what I will be sharing, you will be able to enjoy lobster, steak as well as fajitas (just not all together… duh!).
At the end of the day, you will eat well and you will be smart about it.
