My Favourite Meal for Building New Muscle Tissue

In this article I wanted to show you how to make one of my favourite meals to help create more muscle. Salads are rarely recommended to create muscle but just to be different here is one for you. Most women I know eat salads regularly, but I think many men think that eating a salad will turn them a bit more girly. I wish to change that with my killer 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 whole point! This salad is not light on anything, it is however very heavy on heaps of foods that are exellent for your growing body. You should give your body everything it requires to stay in hormone balance, work at its peak, satisfy your appetite, fuel your training sessions, and to prevent cravings, this salad helps do this.

When you give your body what it requires on a regular basis, cravings should disolve completely, as you are now genuinely satisfied and your body wont need to crave more food as it has all the material it requires 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 assorted leaf lettuce
shredded carrots
1/2 of a developed 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 exellent tasting 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 alter your own serving size for your goal. This serving size is for me to keep 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 honestly don't worry about how much fat is in it, as I know all the fat used in this meal is wholesome 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 control 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 fairly good, with 14 grams from the easily digested source in the eggs. The meal also has heaps of wholesome 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 requires 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, wholesome fats, good quality protein and heaps of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other stuff important to your body
