6 Great Foods For Muscle Building

muscle building foods

Strength training can only get you so far.  To build the strong muscle mass you’ve been dreaming of, pack your diet with muscle-building foods.

Eggs

Packing a powerful nutritional punch, eggs contain high quality protein, vitamin D, good fat, and nine amino acids.  Eating eggs for breakfast will pack your morning with protein and start your day on the right track.

Nuts

From almonds to cashews to walnuts, nuts are a great choice if you’ve been struggling to build muscle.  They provide protein, as well as unsaturated fats, to give you great nutrition.

Lean beef

With huge quantities of high-quality protein and muscle-building amino acids, lean cuts of beef are a staple for muscle building.  With a low calorie to protein ratio, a serving of lean beef provides essential nutrients, like iron, B12, and zinc.

Cottage Cheese

Cottage cheese is packed with protein in the form of casein, a slow-digesting dairy protein, so eating cottage cheese can help you maintain more consistent energy.  Plus, cottage cheese usually contains live, active cultures – good bacteria that will keep your digestive system healthy and happy.

Whey protein

Recovery shakes containing protein and carbohydrates are crucial if you’re trying to build muscle mass.  Use whey protein powder in a fruit-packed smoothie to provide your body with the fuel it needs after a hard workout.

Oatmeal

All whole grains are good for muscle building, but oatmeal gets extra points for its low glycemic index (GI) score.  You’ll feel fuller longer and still maintain consistent energy levels.

NeeBooFit Video: Lunges

Lunges are a fantastic exercise to increase your overall health.  By working large muscle groups, not only will you have increased stability, but you could rev up your metabolism as well.  Use our NeeBooFit Resistance Flat Bands to amp up the power behind your lunges as you work your hamstrings, glutes, quads, and calves.

Instructions:
  • Begin with a split stance, stepping on band with front foot.
  • Feet should be about 3 feet apart. Keep elbows at 90 degrees.
  • Slowly bend both knees to 90 degrees and then return to standing.
Tip: Perform this exercise slowly and with controlled motion to work muscles through the entire movement.
