What a Muscle Building Meal Really Looks Like
When it comes to eating your way to a more muscular physique, many people know that it is certainly important to eat enough calories.
However, where your calories come from certainly does matter. Just like with weight loss, muscle building or gaining mass is the same general idea: you must pick the right combo of foods that will accommodate your goals and bodily changes.
Here is a sample of a day's worth of muscle building meals for the average female. (Keep in mind that this is super general)
Meal #1:


- 5 egg whites (86 calories)
- 1 oz. turkey bacon (66 calories)
- 1/2 cup oats (100 calories)
- 1 cup almond milk (60 calories)
- 1 cup strawberries (50 calories)
- 2 scoops protein powder (The calories per scoop will vary with the brand of your protein. Personally, I love the Veggie Elite protein powder from MRM. It has 130 calories per scoop. Also, you can use code SIA for 40% off at checkout!)
- 1 cup almond milk (60 calories)
- 1 grilled chicken breast, skinless and boneless (145 calories)
