I would say that the average person will start off in his or her
muscle building career by thinking that slaving away at the gym would be
enough to produce lean muscle. People see the well toned athlete and
think about the effort it must have taken to look like that. What people
don't see is the discipline and bodybuilding diet programs that people
who wish to have awesomely muscled bodies live with.
You'll notice that on the whole, thinner people eat less than fatter people. It's a fact of life. If you want to weigh 170 pounds, eat like someone who does weigh 170 pounds.
Some people eat like a horse and seem to never put any weight on. Sometimes that's a benefit of a fast metabolism, but mostly because they've done something to have a fast metabolism. Hopefully it's lots of exercise that they've done to get to that state.
Getting really fit. Having washboard abs. Being made of lean muscle. All these are the result of hard work and strict eating plans. No more beer and pizza every night. Once a month, if you're lucky. But then you really enjoy it.
As well as the calorie benefits, eating well helps you build and maintain muscles. Eating too little won't allow your muscles to grow and you'll just end up puny and probably flabby.
As I've mentioned, and as you probably know already, proteins are the building blocks of muscle. You'll find that most bodybuilding diets are high in protein. But not only that, but complex carbs and essential fats are vital to keep a great balance. An effective bodybuilding diet will include masses of protein.
Foods high in protein include:
Complex carbs are things like:
As part of a healthy diet you would definitely ensure that you are always fully hydrated. Drinking water throughout your day and making doubly sure you have a ready supply when you workout. Replacing the fluid you lose through increased sweating. This also enables your body to flush out toxins and increase recovery.
In order to keep your body active, a steady supply of energy and an increased metabolism, it's preferable to eat little and often. 5 to 6 meals per day, every 2-3 hours. Each meal containing vegetables and only a small amount of carbohydrates. Try to limit the majority of your carbs to just before or just after a workout.
Diet and nutrition are vital to the success of your muscle building endeavours. People will often work themselves into the ground and see little success. This can lead to giving up on goals which is the last thing we want.
A combination of hard work and a sensible bodybuilding diet will lead to fantastic results!

This isn't the only diet plan in the world that will help you pack on the muscle. For example, a 6 pack abs diet will concentrate fully on the abdominal area. Check out my strength training website for more information.
