Eating For Muscle Gains

Eating for muscle gains is obviously one of the most important aspects of my journey to become the biggest natural bodybuilder of all time. My daily nutritional intake for training days (which is almost every day) consists of plenty of carbs... usually generated from oatmeal, rice, potatoes, pasta, and whole wheat crackers. If I avoid these, and even if I take in tons of protein-concentrated foods, I will not gain the size I need to accomplish my goal. Doing cardio about once (and sometimes twice) per week helps keep my percentage of body fat quite low. I have such a fast metabolism that I can quite easily stay lean as I actually increase body weight, which means that most of what I gain is muscle. The high-protein foods I eat vary from egg whites, to chicken breast, to lean beef, to fish (tilapia, sole, tuna), to lean porc, etc. I drink tons of water throughout the day, right up until about 1 hour before going to bed. Two protein shakes are enough for me right now... but starting in a few weeks I will be drinking three shakes per day. I also eat some vegetables and at least two fruits every day. I hope this blog post has given you an idea of what types of food you should take in, if your goal is similar to mine. Good luck, and I will see you guys and gals back here in a day or so.
