My Best Meal for Growing Muscle Tissue

In this item I wanted to show you how to make one of my favourite meals to help build more muscle. Salads are seldom recommended to build muscle but just to be unique here is one for you. Most women I know eat salads often, but I think many men think that eating a salad will turn them a bit more girly. I expecthope to change that with my ultimate muscle growing salad.

Before you make this you should know this is not a light salad, its not low in calories, fat or carbs.

But this is the entire goal! This salad is not light on anything, it is however very heavy on loads of foods that are exellent for your developing body. You should give your body everything it needs to stay in hormone balance, manage at its best, satisfy your hungar, fuel your training sessions, and to prevent cravings, this salad helps do this.

When you give your body what it needs on a frequent basis, cravings should vanish completely, as you are now genuinely satisfied and your body wont need to crave more food because it has all the stuff it needs now. This is something I have some personal experience with, years ago when I originally started exercising I would get cravings for sugar all the time. With my current balanced diet, I cant recall the last time I had a craving. NO KIDDING.

Ok so heres how to make the greatest muscle building salad:

about 1-2 cups spinach leaves
about 1-2 cups varied leaf lettuce
shredded carrots
1/2 of a mature avocado, diced
2 hard boiled eggs, diced (organic, free range is best)
3 Tbsp chopped pecans
1/4 cup dried cranberries
top with homemade dressing made of balsamic vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, and Udo's Choice Oil (3/4 of total liquid should come from the
vinegar)

Mix it all up and you've got one delicious and insanely nutritious salad. Heres the macronutrient breakdown:

Protein: 23 g, Carbohydrates: 48 g, Fiber: 12 g, Fat: 45 g, Calories: 650

Before you click off this page in anger for me telling you to eat such a high calorie and fat meal, you have to remember to modify your own portion size for your goal. This portion size is for me to preserve an intake of around 3000 calories if you are eating about 2000 calories for example just scale back the meal size.

Another thing to know about this meal is that I really don't worry about how much fat is in it, as I know all the fat used in this meal is healthful and will be put to exellent use by my body. Now for the carbohydrates. In this meal there is 12 grams of fibre in a total of 48 grams of carbs, I have no problem with this ratio. A exellent advantage of this meal is that the good fats and the protein act to slow down the absorption of the carbs, leading to a good blood sugar response which helps to maintain your weight.

The bodybuilders among you may be thinking there should be more protein in this meal. There is about 23 grams of protein in the salad which is rather good, with 14 grams from the easily digested supply in the eggs. The meal also has plenty of healthful fats which increase the use of the protein as the
body wont need to use your protein for energy and can now use it exclusively for muscle development and anything else it needs to do with amino acids in the body.

This meal overall has a exellent mix of good low GI carbs which are high in fibre, healthful fats, good quality protein and plenty of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other stuff important to your body
