Muscle Building Nutrition Program – Part 2


www.LeeHayward.com In part 1 of the Basic Bodybuilding Nutrition Program I covered proper nutrient intake of protein, carbohydrates, fat, and water. And the amounts of each that you should be consuming daily based on your individual needs and fitness goals. In part 2 I'm going to outline some practical ways that you can fit a healthy eating plan into your busy lifestyle. The whole idea of eating 6 well-balanced meals per day is by no means a new concept. Most of you who are reading this already have a good idea of how you should be eating. But for the majority of people the main excuse is they don't have the time to eat properly. But this is just not the case. Eating a "junk-food" diet probably takes just as much or more time then it does to eat a healthy diet. At lunch time getting in your car and heading on over to the fast food joint, waiting in line at the drive through, and then heading back to work takes a lot more time then if you had your food prepared in advance and ready to eat. The key to successfully following a healthy bodybuilding nutrition program is planning ahead. When you cook your food always prepare for several meals. It doesn't take any more time to cook larger quantities of food then it does to cook smaller amounts of food for just one meal. Purposely plan to have left overs that you can re-heat in the microwave, this saves time and makes it easier to have quick nutritious meals on hand. I'll often grill several steaks at a time, cook several chicken ...

  1. a couple, 2-3

  2. the left over tip is the idea which helped me

  3. respect! good advice

  4. This is great!! Thanks and keep going train.

  5. one little question im a bad cook. how u cook the beef and fish

  6. Awesome advice man… thanks Lee

  7. Fish is easy as hell actually. if u got a 2intch thick salmon steak just cook in in a pan with canola oil and a bit of salt for 10 min on each side on medium heat (depending on the stove) then splash it with lemon juice or spread a little bit of ketchup with tobascco sauce and your good to go. the sauces you use can very dramatically but what ever tastes good is ok

  8. yeah this is the real deal so many theories bout weight training I LIKE this one cheers Lee.

  9. if i eat 6 meals a day do i still have to drink protrin powders, it makes me bloated and i fart non stop and it smells so bad

  10. u probaly need to get a better protein powder or you could be lactose intolerant. cut that farting shit out lol hope this helps

  11. 100 grams of chicken breast contains 22,00 gr of proteins which means that you must “cook” about 150 grams ;)

  12. I dont like to eat the same food more than twice. It’s just a mental thing. I can snack the same thing, dont mind that.

  13. Gatorade !!! you killed it with that one, Gatorade is bad for your teeth. On top of that, its mostly sucrose/fructose.

  14. its called brushing your teeth

  15. Awesome Videos. Very informational, well thought out, and accurate.

  16. @braposo23 that has to be the funniest thing iv herd al day, cauze im adsactly the same haha

  17. did you know that when you re-heat stuff in the micro-wave it loses a significant amount of its nutrimants, just thought I’d point it out specially not good to reheat foods in plastic containers cause some of the toxins from the plastic go into your food but honestly its not a BIG deal if you poor your left overs on your china wear plates or wtv and re-heat…just thought id say it haha but excelent advice on a well balanced diet for muscle building!

  18. @braposo23 If you are lactose intolerant that might explain your issue, whey protein shakes are made from milk, switch to a whey isolate protein and you should be fine.
    Muscle Feast makes a great no flavor whey isolate 90% protein, for about $35 for 5 lbs.

  19. are fruits like apples simple carbs?

  20. there only one problem i only have one lunch break at work. they only let me ear once

  21. I am constantly on the go. I’ve got whey protein, whole grain oats, almonds, canned chicken, canned tuna, canned veggies, a few gallons of water, some spoons and some cups all in a container in the trunk of my car.

  22. @braposo23
    The supplements cause all the gas. Try to limit the amount of protein you take. You will see it will eliminate mostly of gas. Also check if you are lactose intolerant some mostly dairy products will cause gas. vegetables as broccoli , beans and ect.
    I hope this will give you at least a start. Good luck..

  23. So how could someone who is poor accomplish getting all the necessary protein/carbs/etc? No way I can afford buying that much food.

  24. @braposo23 have you tried using a diffident protein powder ?
    a use to get that when a used BSN Syntha 6. i cleared rooms on that stuff!! lol
    but a switch to Gaspari Nutrition MyoFusion and theres no bloating and theres no need to revive anyone lol :P

  25. What brand of whey protein do you use/ recommend… I take Natural Isopure. its 100 % isolated, contains no fillerd or byproducts typicslly found in other whey’s ( in fact, the
    protein is so pure that it dissolves clear!), and it’s all natural.
