Building Muscles and Gaining Weight

When you want to build muscles, your first consideration is the food you eat. Eating the right foods at the right amounts is important in developing lean muscle mass and gaining weight.

Yes, weight gain! Don’t cringe! The weigh gain we’re talking about here is the gain of lean muscle mass and not excess fat.

Did you know that muscles weigh more than fat?

It only follows that if you’re going to build muscles, you’re also going to gain weight but good weight.
If you want to build muscles you will have to eat more carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are the body’s main source of energy although 20% of it must also come from fats.

Yes, you heard it right – fats. There are the good fats, and of course, the bad fats and we all know all about the saturated and trans fat, don’t we? But what do we know about monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats? Not much…But there are good sources of energy as well as good for your heart too!

There is the common misconception that when loading up on protein will help you gain lean muscle mass faster. The excess protein you eat will only be used as energy if you don’t perform weight or resistance training exercises.
