Best Foods To Build Muscle Fast
Best Foods To Build Muscle Fast
For anyone that wants to Build Muscle, getting enough protein is vitally important. To maintain and build bigger muscles you need to get at least 1 gram of protein for every pound you weigh. So if you weigh 170 lbs, you need to be getting at least 170 grams of protein per day. And this also needs to be spread out evenly throughout your day.
But getting all this protein into your daily meals can be really expensive. What if you don’t have the spare money to buy all those expensive meats and other sources of protein. Some people just don’t have the kind of money to splash out on expensive foods or the best foods to build muscle. Whether they are still a student, working in a low paying job, are currently unemployed, or just don’t have money available for whatever reason, there are low cost choices for you. So you don’t need to give up your hopes of building muscle just because you don’t have a lot of disposable income. Below are 10 low cost sources of protein to help you out, that are also some of the best foods to build muscle.

Whole Eggs. Protein content – 7g/egg. Some people will tell you to only eat the egg whites as the yolk has fat in it, but if your diet is good, this won’t be an issue. The yolk is also where most of the protein and vitamins are.
Ground Beef. Protein content – 25-30g/100g. If buying lean cut beef is too expensive for you, get the regular kind, and get rid of the fat yourself. Again, some people advise you to stay away from red meat, as there are health issues associated with it, but in moderate amounts it is fine.
Canned Tuna. Protein Content – 40g/can. Again in moderation tuna is fine. There are worries about the mercury that is in tuna, but as long as you don’t eat more than one can a day you will be fine. Try to get cans that are in spring water if you can. If not go for the ones in brine, but stay away from ones in oil.
Milk. Protein content – 30g/litre. If you are pretty skinny and adding fat isn’t really an issue for you, milk is an excellent source of protein and calcium and will allow you to gain weight fast. If you are trying to lose weight and fat, stay away from milk however. Whole milk is the best, as it is the most natural, despite the higher fat content.
Whey Protein Powder. Protein content – Varies by brand. Buy in bulk if you can as this will be the cheapest option. I’m from the UK and get mine from www.bulkpowders.com From them, you can get bags of protein from as little as £6.75 (about $10) per 1kg if you buy in bulk. I’m not sure if they deliver worldwide, but I’m sure you could find low cost suppliers of protein powders wherever you are.
Chicken Breast. Protein content – 25g/100g. Grill the chicken to remove the fat from it and you have an excellent and relatively cheap source of protein.
Ground Turkey. Protein content – 25g/100g. While turkey breast is rather expensive, there are other cuts that are much cheaper. These may contain skin, which you will need to remove to reduce the fat content.
Cottage Cheese. Protein content – 10-12g/100g. Cheaper over in the States than it is in Europe but still a pretty cheap option.
Canned Mackerel. Protein content – 22g/100g. Mackerel has less mercury content than tuna does and is also high in Omega-3.
Liver. Protein content – 20g/100g. Not a popular choice for some, but it is safe (despite what some say) and is low in fat.
General Tips – Buy generic or store name foods, rather than brand names, as they will be much cheaper. Also don’t be afraid to buy cheaper cuts of meat, but remember to cut out any fat or skins from them. Always buy in bulk for a discount if you can, and freeze what you have extra.
