Question: bodybuilding?


Question Description:
i have started gym an i want to eat the right food each day,people always say eat the right food no fatty foods, they say eat chicken, can sum1 actually give me a list of foods which wil help me bodybuild a good balanced routine for the week, i dont eat pork or drink alcahol plus i have got whey protein shakes, p.s if i am building my body do i need lots of protein???????by the way i am 17, pretty skin but have good defination

Answer#1: i eat tuna from the can... it's not bad and has very little fat plus lots of protein..... drink lots of water too.


Answer#2: Yup Protein is the key. It helps the muscles recover and grow after working out. Some people also use Creatine, although there is a debate about its effects, I personally am a fan of it and have seen no ill effects at all. I suggest these sources of protein:Cottage CheeseBeef/steak/jerkyChicken breastand as a supplement straight after the gym: Maximuscle Cyclone (its a mix of whey protein and creatine, but its a bit pricy around £32)Any whey powder will do if you arn't interested in creatine.Remember you need to work really REALLY hard if you are going to see any results. Protein will just help you along the way.Good luck!


Answer#3: I would suggest reading the book The Abs Diet by David Zinczencko of Men's Health. If you don't want to purchase the book borrow it from your local library and if they don't have it ask them to do an inter-library loan from another library.peace


Answer#4: yes lots of protien the skakes are a very good idea also a personal trainer.


Answer#5: Okay log onto menshealth.com and look up the ABS diet. They will show you everything you need to be eating to maintain a lean body while preserving muscle. Yes you nee to eat more protein than a non-bodybuiler. 1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight will be sufficient. Dont get hung up on just eating chicken. The abs diet tells you to eat lean means and nuts for protein as well as whey protein shakes.
