Muscle Building Nutrition Program – Part 2

www.LeeHayward.com In part 1 of the Basic Bodybuilding Nutrition Program I covered proper nutrient intake of protein, carbohydrates, fat, and water. And the amounts of each that you should be consuming daily based on your individual needs and fitness goals. In part 2 I’m going to outline some practical ways that you can fit a healthy eating plan into your busy lifestyle. The whole idea of eating 6 well-balanced meals per day is by no means a new concept. Most of you who are reading this already have a good idea of how you should be eating. But for the majority of people the main excuse is they don’t have the time to eat properly. But this is just not the case. Eating a “junk-food” diet probably takes just as much or more time then it does to eat a healthy diet. At lunch time getting in your car and heading on over to the fast food joint, waiting in line at the drive through, and then heading back to work takes a lot more time then if you had your food prepared in advance and ready to eat. The key to successfully following a healthy bodybuilding nutrition program is planning ahead. When you cook your food always prepare for several meals. It doesn’t take any more time to cook larger quantities of food then it does to cook smaller amounts of food for just one meal. Purposely plan to have left overs that you can re-heat in the microwave, this saves time and makes it easier to have quick nutritious meals on hand. I’ll often grill several steaks at a time, cook several chicken

    It’s refreshing to get some genuine advice for once, instead of some joker wasting your time ranting on about how important nutrition is, telling you nothing of value, and then tryin to sell you some book or something

  14. gruntdesann on September 14th, 2009 11:09 am

    Awesome advice man… thanks Lee

  15. biggbear0130 on October 27th, 2009 10:15 am

    Fish is easy as hell actually. if u got a 2intch thick salmon steak just cook in in a pan with canola oil and a bit of salt for 10 min on each side on medium heat (depending on the stove) then splash it with lemon juice or spread a little bit of ketchup with tobascco sauce and your good to go. the sauces you use can very dramatically but what ever tastes good is ok

  16. sirbozz on November 9th, 2009 1:19 am

  18. youngfred116 on January 26th, 2010 7:21 am

    u probaly need to get a better protein powder or you could be lactose intolerant. cut that farting shit out lol hope this helps

  19. vladosaber on February 16th, 2010 2:29 pm

    100 grams of chicken breast contains 22,00 gr of proteins which means that you must “cook” about 150 grams ;)

    Gatorade !!! you killed it with that one, Gatorade is bad for your teeth. On top of that, its mostly sucrose/fructose.

  21. edgarin512 on March 18th, 2010 11:41 am

  22. THEjeremyonion on March 27th, 2010 1:53 am

    @braposo23 that has to be the funniest thing iv herd al day, cauze im adsactly the same haha

  24. thebestoneil on April 5th, 2010 7:55 pm

    did you know that when you re-heat stuff in the micro-wave it loses a significant amount of its nutrimants, just thought I’d point it out specially not good to reheat foods in plastic containers cause some of the toxins from the plastic go into your food but honestly its not a BIG deal if you poor your left overs on your china wear plates or wtv and re-heat…just thought id say it haha but excelent advice on a well balanced diet for muscle building!

    @braposo23 If you are lactose intolerant that might explain your issue, whey protein shakes are made from milk, switch to a whey isolate protein and you should be fine.
    Muscle Feast makes a great no flavor whey isolate 90% protein, for about $35 for 5 lbs.
