August 11, 2010 by admin
So you’re trying to build muscle and bulk up so you’ll look your best this Summer. You know you want to jump on a serious exercise plan and start strength training, but proper exercise does not guarantee a healthier (and therefore better looking) body. What you need is the best muscle building foods you can find. I’m going to share my personal favorite with you now – it’s a delicious salad that’s pumped up to give you a healthy boost to your weight training methods!
When a lot of people eat salad, they’re thinking that it’s low in calories, carbs, and fat. It’s healthier for you, right? Well, not necessarily. In the case of my salad, it’s high in pretty much everything that is beneficial to your body, particularly during this time of transformation. We’re talking vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients and antioxidants. What’s the appeal of all this, you ask? Well, if you provide your body with all the nutrition it requires to hold your hormones at appropriate levels and work at the highest efficiency possibly, of course you’re going to help your road to musclebound freedom.
It is also hearty enough that it will keep your hunger in check so you won’t have to deal with any late cravings that will make you start scraping up leftover potato chips from your neighbor’s garbage can.
So, without any further delay, let’s take a look at the recipe of my salad.
The Best Muscle Building Foods Salad
One to two cups of mixed leaf lettuce
One to two cups of spinach leaves\
½ cup of ripe, diced avocado
shredded carrots
2 eggs (diced and hard boiled)
¼ cup of dried cranberries
3 Tbsp of chopped pecans
Top it all off with some homemade dressing. I use balsamic vinegar, Udo’s Choice Oil Blend, and extra virgin olive oil. ¾ of the total dressing liquid should come from the vinegar you use.
Mix all of this together for the most delicious and nutritious salad you’ve ever tried. For some extra antioxidants, wash down this bad boy with some green tea with a hint of a natural sweetener such as Stevia, or a little bit of raw honey.
So what are you getting in the best muscle building foods salad? How about 23 grams of protein, 48 grams of carbs, 12 grams of fibert, 45 grams of fat, and 650 calories? Sound a little over the top? Not a problem. Scale back the portion size to fit your own daily calorie goal. My own caloric intake is around 3000 calories every day, so if yours is closer to 2000, then by all means reduce the portions.
