Your diet is a very important factor in building muscle. If you spend quality time in the gym, but fail to meet your daily nutritional needs, you won’t be able to reach your body’s fullest potential. This is exactly why the diet goes hand in hand with exercise.

Some people even say everything starts in the kitchen.

So to start, here’s how to make the best muscle building menu, as discussed on Men’s Fitness:

HOW TO BUILD MUSCLE: THE BEST FOODS FOR BULKING UP WITHOUT GETTING A FAT BELLY

If you’re reading this, odds are that you’re in one of these three situations: The first: you can’t build muscle—no matter what you try. The second: you can build muscle—maybe even pretty easily—but not without adding some extra fat around the gut. Or the third: you’ve never really tried the whole lifting thing out and just want to get big (without getting fat, too.) Read more…

In particular, here are the animal products that will help you gain more muscle, as listed by Shawn Perine on Flex:

8 Mass Ingredients

For most bodybuilders, pushing through punishing workouts day in and day out is actually the easier part of their regimen. Much harder is sticking with a diet that maintains an anabolic state — that is, building muscle — for the 22 or 23 hours a day when our bodies are desperately trying to recuperate between workouts. Luckily, nutrition need not be akin to rocket science. This simple checklist runs down eight top foods for mass building. Read more…

For bodybuilder Chris Willitts, who has been following a vegetarian diet for years now, fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds are enough. Read more in this article on Muscle and Fitness:

BUILD MUSCLE WITH WHOLE FOOD, PLANT-BASED DIET

Vegetarian bodybuilding, could it be the next big thing in the fitness world? That it may be — there’s professional bodybuilders like Torre Washington, bikini competitors like Samantha Shorkey, and professional athletes like David Carter (defensive lineman – Oakland Raiders). They’re giving us a glimpse of what the future of fitness could be. Read more…

In conclusion, the best muscle building menu includes protein, carbohydrates and fats, and other essential nutrients. Take note that you should get these nutrients from the healthy food sources. There are packaged products like protein bars and sports drinks that you think are supplying your body with the right amount of vitamins and minerals, maybe that’s true, but they also contain unhealthy ingredients like food coloring and additives. This is why it’s important to always check the labels first.

In addition to that, we know that animal products are among the bests, but they also come with bad cholesterol, which is bad for the heart. You can avoid this unwanted effect by minimizing your consumption, while eating more plant foods such as tofu, beans, nuts, avocado, broccoli and more.
