You'll save tons of time with the free bodybuilding meal plans further down on this page.

But first, a little recap on muscle nutrition.

I hope by now that you've learned that muscle nutrition is one of the most important aspects when it comes to packing on lean body mass.

You see, the amount and type of food that you consume not only contributes to the amount of muscle tissue you will grow, but also the speed at which it grows.  In order to build significant amounts of muscle mass quickly, you have to eat a surplus of calories every single day. This means that if your body normally burns 2000 calories each day, in order to build muscle mass you will have to consume as much as 400-1000 calories over this number.  The actual number of calories depends on genetic factors such as your metabolism, body type etc.

The article "How Much Food To Build Muscle" will show you how to estimate the number of calories you need to consume to build muscle mass.

In addition to consuming an adequate number of calories, you have to eat the right muscle building foods, since your body needs both the calories as well as the vitamins and minerals in the foods to help repair and build new muscle tissue.

Simply put, you have to eat more calories than your body burns each day, and these calories must come from nutrient dense, quality whole food sources.

That's easier said than done however, because the next step is figuring out all of the foods you'll need to eat, calculating the number of calories in each of them, and designing a muscle building meal plan to follow.

But here's how you can save yourself tons of time!
