Best Foods To Build Muscle

Here are a couple of the best foods to build muscle.

The first food is cottage cheese, this is comprised of casein protein. Casein protein is one of two proteins that are a by product of cheese, the other protein is whey protein.

What's great about cottage cheese is that it's a very slow digesting food; in fact it can take 2-7 hours for it to digest. This makes it an incredible snack to fill yourself up with in the evenings so that your digestive system is full of slow digesting proteins, which will drip feed your muscles all night.

A lot of the time food might get digested too quickly in your sleep, meaning your muscles will be lacking in the optimal amount of protein to keep it growing. Cottage cheese seems to be a great solution to that problem.

It is primarily protein with a small amount of carbohydrate. It is also very low in fat and most importantly, low in saturated fat. You can buy low fat cottage cheese from supermarkets, and you can even buy it with fruit already added in it, for example pineapple.

Almonds are another example of a great food for building muscle. They contain a lot of good fats which will help your body produce testosterone. This is an anabolic hormone that you will want to be regularly producing as it stimulates muscle growth. Almonds are also a great way to increase your daily calorie intake, as you don't need to eat too many of them to gain a considerable number of calories. Calories are essential to build muscle since you won't be able to gain muscle unless you take in more calories than you burn off. Almonds are a fantastic source of beneficial calories and they also contain no cholesterol whatsoever!
