You can cook them several ways or don’t even cook them at all (which is not recommended). Eggs are inexpensive and have about 7-8 grams of protein per egg. Boiled, scrambled or pouched it doesn’t matter.
Eat a bowl for breakfast or mix it in with your post workout shake. This carb helps you power through training. Also easy to prepare and can be a cornerstone to your muscle building diet.

is there a recommended time to eat any of these foods for the best results
Most of these foods can be found in the old country or chinese buffet lol. Probly not the best quality tho. Great foods you posted up and I like most of them except the beans I’d say. It is very important to eat the right foods when building muscle. But also it is very imortant what to eat and when and have a workout routine. I see lot’s of peole are posting that they eat and gain weight. That could be a big mistake just to eat the right foods and not know when and how much to eat, because that can leave you with extra calories. I’ve made some blog posts talking about it if you like to read it here is the website http://www.musclebuildingnutritionandtraining.com
actually i dont eat most of them but i will start eating majority of them but some of the researchers alse believe some thing which is different from this any way thnks for this
you know what wasn’t useful…. what you just said.
Thankz for info ,,verry usefull for me
Usefull info. i want to loose fat from my stomach lower back n to grow muscles of my arms n have abs. please help me to do so.
I think the best thing for muscles is human meat
This is totally incorrect. You should read a book called “The China Study” and after that read “Forks over Knives”. You will have a crucially different point of view.
Dairy is especially detrimental to human health.
How about a list 25 of ways to tell if your friend is a vegan?
1. They tell you they are vegan
2. They constantly tell you why they are vegan
3. They argue with you on why you should be vegan.
4. They think they know it all.
5. They can’t gain weight.
Repeat 5 times. Pay ‘em back for all of times you have had to listen to them harping on about it.
I eat most of them, before building muscle I just get more weight as in become more fat :/
