Food on a muscle building training day is incredibly important if you want to see results.
It's recommended that you eat at least 250g of protein on a weight lifting day.
I'm going to go above and beyond here and tell you what foods will help you achieve 400g of protein on a training day.
If you do this twice a week on a training day, you can expect to see results very, very fast.
400g is a huge amount of protein that will probably only be able to be consumed after a month or so of allowing your body to get used to taking large quantities of protein on a daily basis.
Here's some of the foods and techniques that will help you achieve the sacred ''400 in a day''.
It's important to note that due to the unusual levels of food being consumed in one day, you should only ever intake what you're comfortable with eating and do not EVER force food into you.
This is simply a recommended guideline of how to achieve 400g of protein in a day and should be adjusted to your size and stature.
Protein shake You'll need to have about 4 shakes during the day, 3 small shakes with a protein content of about 30g and a large post workout shake that has about 50-60g protein.
This shake needs to be taken as soon as possible after you've finished training.
Large Post Workout Meal After your shake you need to have a large protein meal, that consists of just protein, you're aiming for 100g protein here.
The 2 easiest foods to do this with without spending a fortune is either a whole chicken or canned tuna.
Tuna is very high in lean protein, you're looking at about 4 cans of tuna to make up the 100g.
In Between Snacks Have high protein snacks such as almonds and dried nuts in between meals or shakes.
Breakfast Implement the use of eggs into your diet to get the full benefit of foods with a high protein content.
Have 4-6 eggs in the morning along with a glass of milk.
On training days have a breakfast high in carbohydrates.
4 meals Breakfast, lunch and dinner are the 3 main meals that people everyday have.
But for your high calorie training schedule you need to implement a 4th meal to make up extra protein intake.
The best time to slot this into is around about 9 o clock.
If you manage to achieve 400g in a day, twice a week, you will soon be able to achieve serious muscle gain whilst using a proven muscle building system.
