If you want to grow muscles fast then you have to make sure that you eat right kind of food and in right proportion. Food is very important in muscle building process. You have to eat properly and get complete nutrition required by the body. There are certain types of food that should be avoided while there are others that have to be taken in your daily mean. This article discusses these various kinds of food which are apt for muscle building and which are the ones that should be avoided.

You require stamina as well as muscle building materials to execute the workout sessions and transform the calories into muscle mass. However one has to be careful to select food which is high on protein and carbohydrate and low on fat otherwise you will land up saturating fat in your body rather than building muscle mass.

A protein based diet is best for muscle building. But one has to be careful to select food items which are rich in protein and low in fat. Protein based items include lean meat, dairy products, eggs, fishes, vegetables and fruits. High protein is essential for fast muscle gain and has to be consumed adequately. However certain products like beef should not be consumed even if they have high protein because they have very high fat which is not good for muscles.

Carbohydrates are also essential for muscle growth. Include items which are high carb fiber rich like cereals, whole grains, vegetables. Determine your daily calorie intake required for the muscle build up and include high carb products in your diet accordingly. Select products which have low glycemic index like spinach, cabbage, cereals, etc.

Some amount of fat is also required for muscle build up. These are known as good fat which actually speeds up muscle building process. Items with good fat are olive oil, flaxseed oil, etc.

There are certain products which help in fast recovery of muscles from post workout damages. Yogurt, if taken with fruits, help in the recover process of muscles. Almonds help to recover the body from free radicals released during workout sessions. Water also needs to be consumed in large quantity which helps in muscle growth. Your unhealthy snack habits have to be stopped. You have to reduce consumption of tea, coffee, aerated drinks as these kill your thirst for water. Munch on something healthy like fruits and salads when you feel to have some snacks between meals.

Various muscle building products like food supplements and certain drugs (legally approved) can be taken too if you want fast muscle build up. However before taking them, do remember to ask your physician for effectiveness and proper dosage of these drugs. Your body might be allergic to some while others might not work effectively in your body and it makes no sense spending huge amount on these without doing a research on their usage and effectiveness. Food supplements with high protein and carbohydrate content can be consumed.

One more thing which has to be kept in mind is that the food has to be taken in right proportion, not less because that might not give you required calories to burn into muscle mass and not more because that might result in fat saturation.
