Eating right to build muscle as a bodybuilder is tough, and is not cheap.
How can you eat right and take in enough carbs,protein and other nutrients to build
muscle,burn body fat and keep you healthy?
Most bodybuilders seem to think they need protein powder,vitamins,pre-workouts
and other supplements.
If you eat the right food and enough,you don't need supplements.
Real Food will be the key to build solid muscle. Nothing else.
You may not like some of my choices food wise. The only reason being that if you have very
limited resources financially, you're rather constrained in the types of food you eat.
Meaning, you can't spend a boatload on steak,expensive fish or going out to restaurants
constantly.
Okay for breakfast you can have whole eggs and plain oatmeal. For flavoring to your
oatmeal just add cinnamon, and dice up some fruit like an apple.
And you can't afford egg whites on this budget so opt to eat whole eggs instead.
They won't hurt you and you'll get more nutrients including the fat and needed
cholesterol. Have 3 whole eggs at the least.
You can scramble em,sunny side up or just fry them. Or whip em' up and
put them in a plastic bowl and nuke em.' Especially if time is limited.
Buy eggs in bulk if you can at Costco. Walmart is also good these days for buying
food in bulk.
For lunch have tuna and dice up some onions and include a dollop of mayo for some fat. It won't kill you either. Add some black pepper and mustard. And toast up three pieces of whole wheat bread. As well you can buy a huge bag of white rice and cook that up.
Have one or two cups of rice. You'll have to have 2 if you're a hard gainer.
If you buy a boatload of white rice it will cost you next to nothing. Plus, it's a great
carb for either after workouts or before.
Or what I do in my second meal usually is have oatmeal and a can of tuna.
I buy veggies like radishes and cucumbers and cut them up and have them
with this meal.
Here's what I suggest for Supper: Especially if you don't have much money
for lean beef,lean cuts of pork or chicken.
Chicken is actually expensive so opt to buy lean pork. Buy them in steaks or
even a Center Cut Pork roast which will last you a number of days.
Here's what to do as far as veggies go for supper. Buy canned beans. Not the
brown beans which are loaded with sugar. Buy canned kidney beans,Navy beans
and black beans which are tasty when you add spices and have only 1 gram of
sugar per serving,and usually 12 to 15 grams of protein per half can, or a cup.
They're loaded with fiber and other essential vitamins and minerals.
You can add either rice or whole wheat toast to this meal as well.
You can literally make a stew out of it.
Oh, almost forgot the lean beef you can sautee' in a frying pan until well done,and
add to your beans. One thing to buy though is a scale to measure size of your
food. Especially high fat meat.
You can even forgo the meat and have 3 whole eggs on the side. You'll get boatloads
of protein.
Since I workout late at night I have my last meal after midnight. I always have
oatmeal and add some box cereal like Corn Flakes,Shreddies or even Kellogg's
Mini Wheats. Have some cottage cheese on the side.
Believe it or not you don't need boatloads of protein. Carbs are more important for
growth and recovery purposes along with working out and being committed to a
solid diet.
4 or 5 meals at most a day is what you require. And it won't cost you a bundle if
you're smart with your food purchases.
I only eat 4 meals. But yes, if you want to be big you have to eat more. No
choice there.
Always look for meat specials,buy veggies,oatmeal and rice in bulk to save money
and buy tuna in bulk as well. Here in Canada I go to Walmart here in my town,and it
costs 98 cents per can.
If you have to, buy powdered milk in bulk and add water to it along with powdered
chocolate drink mix. Have 2 cups in your oatmeal and Shreddies.
I love Honey Shreddies.
You can buy all these foods at Costco or Walmart for a cheap price,and feed yourself
well, even though you're a bodybuilder without much in the bank.
You don't need protein powder or other supplements.
