Building muscle demands more than junk food
I’m sure you’ve heard it many times before: if you want to build muscle you must increase your calories. This is because the body needs to get materials to build muscle from your diet.
It’s actually pretty simple when you think about it. If you want to remain at your current weight, then you simply need to try to eat the same number of calories that you burn on any given day. There are many great calculators on the Internet that can help you determine how many calories you need.
Having said that, not just any calories will do. Don’t think you can eat whatever you want and still gain large amounts of muscle. Unfortunately, you’ll have to be more selective in your nutritional choices and may even have to give up some of your favorite foods.
I love fast food restaurants, especially McDonald’s. But I have to be honest and state that this is not the healthiest food you could be eating. It depends on what exactly you eat why you’re there, but for the most part fast food meals are pretty much junk food.
Also, when you make your food choices you should think about your overall health and not just your desire to build muscle. Spending all day at a fast food restaurant will load your body up with Trans fatty acids (or hydrogenated oils). If you end up clogging your arteries, not building muscle will be the least of your problems.
You also need to be careful about the amount of sugar that you take in. So many foods today contain high fructose corn syrup, which is really just a bunch of junk that you don’t need to put into your body. Immediate exercise can burn the sugar, and your body can store a small amount. However, your body has a third option, which is increasing your fat percentage.
So, all that wonderful ice cream and candy bars can lead to extra fat whether you like it or not. Whatever you don’t burn off can become fat, and if you eat excessive amounts you probably won’t burn it all off.
Try to keep in mind the big picture and stick to the best foods possible. You’re trying to maximize results, and not just get by with mediocre results.
