To Build Lean Muscles, one important part of the equation is your diet. The type of food you eat plays a big role in your success.

Lean Muscles

If you are one of many people who exercise consistently but can not get the results you want, chances are good that the food you are consuming is the reason.

Be Aware Of What You Are Eating

You might be surprised how much calories are in a meal at a fast food restaurant. Many times, you could eat all your daily calories in a single serving with many types of fast foods. Stay away from those places and start cooking at home. Monitoring your meals is the wise step to getting lean muscles.

Change Your Meal Servings

You need to control the large meal servings you put in your body. You should have anywhere from 5 to 7 smaller meals a day. They should range from 300 to 500 calories in each meal. Make sure you read the product labels and ingredients. Count your calories and keep track of how many calories you are putting into your body. Calories add up fast.

Also, make sure you consume more carbohydrates in the morning and then very few carbohydrates in the evening. Eat plenty of protein, like fish or lean chicken. You can even use protein supplements such as whey protein. These foods are great right after your workout. Other foods in your lean diet plan should include…

• Lean meat
• Eggs (whites of the egg are better)
• Fish
• Sea food
• Vegetables
• Low fat or skim milk and
• Plenty of water

Foods that you need to stay away from are…

• Sugars
• White flour
• White bread
• Candies
• Cookies
• Soda
• Fast food and
• Foods with trans fats

Remember, every 3500 calories equals a pound of fat. So if your goal is to get ripped with lean muscles and lose body fat, then these foods will help you reach your goal.
