  1. Dairy and poultry.
  2. Babies... lots of babies.
  3. There are a lot of mistakes people tend to do when making their body building meal plans. Most individuals have a lot of misconceptions about the diet necessary when bulking up. Some people have the wrong notion that a body building meal plan should be composed solely of protein and all other nutrients, namely fat and carbohydrates, should be eliminated. The truth is, when bulking up, you also have to increase your carbohydrate intake to give you the necessary energy to work out. When you lower the carbohydrate component in your body building meal plan, your body in turn is forced to compensate. The body accomplishes this by lowering your metabolism. When your metabolism is lowered, the extra calories you eat build up as fat instead of getting broken down as energy. On the other hand, losing all the fat in your body building meal plan can also result in adverse effects. Your organ systems will then be forced to rely on low fat products or fat free food to fill the necessary fat requirements of your body. This can likewise result in a decrease in your body's metabolism, specifically your fat metabolism. Instead of bulking you up, eating little to no fat than what the body needs can even retard your growth. When making a body building meal plan, it is wrong to believe that taking protein products and body building supplements, can immediately bulk up your body. These supplements only enhance your body building meal plan, filling in some of the lacking nutrients in your body. In a body building meal plan, the most important thing to remember is that you still have to eat right. Some body building supplements work by burning the fat in your body; however, supplements can only do so much. If you keep your calorie intake high, meaning you still eat more than you should, no amount of supplements can burn the excess calories you eat. If you take protein products, such as protein bars, shakes or tablets, you may be eating more calories than your body needs. Eating too much of these protein products can also put undue stress on your body, making it harder for you to build up your body.

  4. PROTEIN PROTEIN PROTEIN PROTEIN. so much so muchhhh. good protein bars are. Clif bars, Luna bars, Detour Bars, Power bars. and Jay Robb protein packets are really good.
  5. If you're looking to add muscle mass- not definition- then you should lift heavier weights along with a big consumption in protein.
  6. You'll definitely want to eat a well balanced diet. Stay away from fatty and sugary foods (eg. fast food, candy, soda). You'll also want to drink AT LEAST 1 oz. of water for every POUND you weigh. Eat about 5 to 6 small meals per day about 2.5 to 3 hours apart. Now thats not 5 to 6 FULL meals but small meals and snacks. I would highly recommend switching to whole wheats and organic foods. You'll also want to up your protein intake. Hit me up if you want more info!
  7. Eat lots of Egg whites, Salmon, Turkey, Chicken (breast), Kidney beans.
  8. Well to start you diet you should start drinking protein drinks every morning . Then eat you veggies. Lotza water. and STAY off STEROIDS No problem for the help
  9. Body builders tend to take in up to 10000calories per day, but of very selective items. Your best friend for body building is grilled chicken. It can be made a variety of ways, and has loads of protein and good fats that you will be needing. Stay away from any sugars that you dont need, and especially 'high fructose corn syrup'. Grain's and carbs can be good for storing energy to make it through the training, but even they can leave behind unwanted sugars and sodium. Also, although water is essiential to staying hydrated, drinking fortified sports drinks, or fitness water can help provide some of the vitamins and electrolytes that you'll need while at the gym. -Best Answer -Devin
