  1. Protein is the stimulator for muscle growth. You can find it in eggs, canned fish, beans, lean meat etc. For great results supplement the body with protein from a whey protein milkshake. This is essential after training.

    Altho protein is the major player in muscle growth it is vital to also eat a balanced diet of carbs, unsaturated fat, fiber and vitamins. Water is also essential for muscle growth or cell anabolism

  2. The best bodybuilding foods are:

    High quality protein sources such as lean red meat, poultry, fish, eggs, skim milk, nuts, natural peanut butter and whey powder.

    Low glycemic carbohydrates such as oatmeal, whole grains, brown rice, apples and certain types of pasta.

    Healthy fats such as nuts, avacados, healthy oils (flax or olive oil) and fish.

    Combine these foods into 5-7 small meals per day, shooting for about 18-20x your bodyweight in calories and roughly 40% protein, 35% carbs and 25% fat for the best results.
