Here are Pro bodybuilder Evan Centopani's top 12 favorite mass-building foods. Use the list as a starting point as you discover the foods that give you the results you want. ► Read The Full Article: https://bbcom.me/3it10fG ► Iron Intelligence - Evan Centopani's Muscle-Building Plan: https://bbcom.me/3ClCswR ► Subscribe: http://bit.ly/2DK5lGD When it comes to gaining size, I don't prioritize any one macronutrient over another or consume any of them in significantly greater quantities than the next. Carbohydrates, proteins, and fats are all crucial for putting on mass. There are many bodybuilding foods that can satisfy your macronutrient and calorie requirements, but I recommend focusing on these 12. What may sound good in theory doesn't always work best in application—and could cost you gains. For example, traditional wisdom held that bodybuilders should skip the white rice and eat brown rice, shy away from white potatoes in favor of yams, and eat egg whites instead of whole eggs to avoid the cholesterol; however, anyone who has ever eaten for maximum size will tell you that brown rice can fill you up too much, eating too many yams can give you gas and make you bloated, and avoiding egg yolks and going for the whites is like throwing away a barbell but keeping the plates. | Beef | Red meat has always been hailed as the king of muscle-building foods, and that isn't wrong. Beef is rich in creatine, B-vitamins, and saturated fats, so you may wonder why you shouldn't just supplement with lean proteins, take some creatine, rely on the B-vitamins in your multi, and call it a day. From my experience with eating red meat on a daily basis, I can tell you that I'm bigger, stronger, and fuller than when I don't. It just works. Whole Eggs It's unfortunate that we're still undoing the stigma around eggs that popped up in the 1980s. People claimed that whole eggs, because of their high cholesterol content, should be severely limited or scrapped altogether in favor of egg whites. This was terrible advice. Chicken Chicken is a mainstay in nearly every bodybuilder's diet, and for good reason. Compared to all other protein sources, it is easily the most economical. You can still find chicken breast on sale for around $2 per pound. It may not be as easy on the digestive system as lean fish, but it's certainly easier to digest than beef and at a fraction of the price. Also, as you're probably well aware, chicken breast is almost all protein and very little fat, yet it still tastes decent and lends itself to a variety of preparations. Fish While fish may lack the hardcore and somewhat legendary muscle-building status that red meat has, it can be a powerhouse when used properly. The one thing that each and every one of us will eventually come to terms with in our attempts to build the maximum amount of muscle is that we can only eat so much damn food. At some point, our aspirations will demand that we eat more. That sounds great, until eating more begins to feel nauseating and impossible. White Rice Conventional wisdom says to eat brown rice because it has more fiber and vitamins. I think that's all crap. Most carbohydrates are a poor source of vitamins and minerals compared to meat and vegetables. Eating too many fibrous carbohydrates will only slow digestion and fill you up more, preventing you from eating to your full capacity. Potatoes Let's continue with the theme of digestive efficiency. I love potatoes for the same reasons I love white rice—they digest incredibly well. There is not much of a difference between white and sweet potatoes, so both are acceptable. It's simply not true that sweet potatoes will somehow lead to ripped abs while white potatoes are made in hell and are a one-way ticket to obesity. | Follow Evan Centopani | ► YouTube: http://bit.ly/2EwiikT ► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/evancentopani/ | Follow Animal | ► YouTube: http://bit.ly/2EwiArZ ► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/animalpak/ 00:00 - Intro 00:30 - Beef 02:46 - Fish 03:24 - Chicken 03:58 - Whole Eggs 05:35 - Olive Oil 07:20 - Nuts 08:10 - Avocados 10:10 - White Rice & Potatoes 12:35 - Full-Fat Dairy 14:00 - Meal Replacement Powders 15:00 - Carbohydrate Drinks 16:00 - Final Thoughts ========================================­===== | Follow Us | ► YouTube: http://bit.ly/1RSJFa4 ► Facebook: http://on.fb.me/1lomhpr ► Instagram: http://bit.ly/1LzBxab ► Twitter: http://bit.ly/1RSJQlL ► Google+: http://bit.ly/1NRe8qu ► Pinterest: http://bit.ly/1OOZgY4 ► Spotify: http://spoti.fi/1NRebm0 We are Bodybuilding.com.

If you want to build muscle and lose fat, you need to prioritize your protein. Learn how much to eat and the best time to eat it! View the Full Article | http://bbcom.me/1NYYNBG Dymatize Nutrition Products | http://bbcom.me/1NkEHPK When I was going to school for nutrition in the '80s, we always recommended lower protein to people. The thought then was that too much protein would be bad for the kidneys. Today, we know better. For people who train hard, protein recommendations are at least double what they are for inactive people. That means that if you're in the gym training hard, you should be eating 1.5-2.0 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight. If you want a simpler recommendation, go for about 1 gram of protein per pound of lean body weight. If you continue with an active lifestyle, these protein recommendations don't really change. In fact, it seems that we might need relatively more protein as we transition from our 20s into our 60s and beyond.
