The Best Muscle Building Foods For A Bulking Diet?
There’s no such thing as a single food or set of muscle building foods that you must include in your bodybuilding diet to get the best results possible.
Certain foods are more macro-friendly and nutrient-dense, but there’s a virtually endless list of “bodybuilding foods” that you can use to meet your daily nutritional needs, and no single food is a must.
Proper muscle building nutrition is about your overall daily intake in terms of total calories, macro nutrient and micronutrient content, and fiber. The key is to know what your total nutritional needs are for the day and then to use a combination of foods to meet those needs.
You want to base the bulk of your muscle building diet around nutrient-dense, minimally processed whole foods, with a few servings of fruit and veggies each day. But no single food has any special properties that will impact your bottom-line results.
Go through the main categories of foods – protein, carbs and fats – and base your bulking diet around the options that you most prefer. If you don’t like something, don’t eat it. No single food source is a must-have.
Rather than thinking in terms of individual “muscle building foods”, think in terms of an overall muscle building diet. Once you figure out your daily calorie and macronutrient needs, you can use whatever combination of foods you like.
The idea that a healthy diet should automatically be unenjoyable is completely outdated. If you plan and put forth a bit of effort, even healthy, macro-friendly meals can taste really good.
Run a basic online search using Google, YouTube, or any other online platform using terms like “bodybuilding recipes,” “bulking recipes,” and “fitness recipes” and you’ll find an endless variety of options to help you meet your daily nutritional needs in an enjoyable way.
Going about your diet this way will get you the same bottom-line muscle building results, plus two huge benefits.
Benefit number one is that you’ll be way more likely to stay consistent with your muscle gain diet over the long term. Remember that getting into and staying in great shape is a lifelong commitment. If your current bodybuilding diet isn’t a way of eating that you’d be happy to maintain over the long term, then something probably needs to change.
Benefit number two is that your quality of life will be better. Genuinely looking forward to each meal is such a better way to live than not enjoying what you eat every day.
