Eating the Right Foods


Eating the right foods to feed your muscles and fuel your physical endeavors can be compared to an expert level Sudoku puzzle: confusing and frustrating, and you don’t want to meet the guy who’s good at it. However, eating right is arguably the most important ingredient to getting big.
Maintaining optimum nutrition is essential to building a strong, massive physique, yet it is the most neglected element in the average lifter's program. Without super nutrition, all training efforts are a waste of time. Nutrition also has an impact on the efficiency of supplements. The idea is clear; food plays a major role in the acquisition of muscle mass. The first thing we need to do about our nutritional program is get excited about it. Realize that eating better will help us reach our weight training goals. A person must really be motivated to eat super nutrition or they just won't follow through. If the enthusiasm is not there, you might follow the diet for a week or two; real gains come by following the diet for months or even years.
The most important part of that is having the good food you need, when and
where you need it. Regular trips to the grocery store are a must.

See “The 10 Pound Meal Plan” to see an example of the proper foods to eat, and when to eat them.
