With this particular article, I just wanted to share with you one of my special muscle meal plans that I love. Surprisingly, it actually comes in the form of a salad, but it is killer!
I know the ladies will love this idea, but for all of you guys out there that think eating a salad makes you less of a man... Well, you haven't tried my ultimate "salad on roids" yet!
Keep in mind that this salad is not low in calories. It's not low in fat. It's not low in carbs.
And you know what...that is the whole point! It's not reduced anything, but it sure as hell has elevated levels of everything under the sun that is good for you... just about every supplement, nutrient, antioxidant, and phytonutrient on the planet! And that means your body will get all the nutrition it requires to maintain optimum hormonal balance, function at it's highest capacity, keep the urge for food satisfied for hours, and prevent any kind of undesirable cravings.
Keep in mind that last position... whenever you fill the body with all of the vitamins and minerals it requires on a daily basis, you virtually completely eliminate cravings! This happens simply because your body is satisfied and doesn't have to crave any more food, since it has all of the nutrients it needs.
I've experienced this myself. Years ago, I used to crave sweets Constantly. Still that I eat the balanced diet that I do these days, I can't say that I've had a craving in at least 5 years! No joke.
Alright, here's the special muscle meal plan recipe:
The Ultimate Build Muscle Quick
approx 1-2 cups spinach leaves
approx 1-2 cups mixed leaf lettuce
shredded carrots
1/2 of a ripe avocado, diced
2 hard boiled eggs, diced (preferrably organic, cage free)
3 Tbsp chopped pecans
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1 tbls spoon of protein bulk
top with homemade dressing made of balsamic vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, and Udo's Choice Oil Blend (3/4 of total liquid should come from the vinegar)
Mix it all together and you've got one delicious and ridiculously nutritious salad. For an extra shot of antioxidants, wash it all down with some homemade iced green/white/oolong tea lightly sweetened with the natural sweetener Stevia or a little touch of raw honey.
Alright, now let's look at the approx macronutrient breakdown:
Now before you toss your arms up in disgust and label me crazy for recommending such a higher fat, higher calorie dinner, keep in mind to scale back the portion sizes for your own caloric objective. The servings above are simply the servings which i employ considering that my personal maintenance calorie intake is around three thousand calories/day. If your maintenance is 2000 calories/day, then scale back the servings accordingly.
Additionally, I do not care about the actual higher body fat content of the food... because every last gram of the fat in this meal is very wholesome... from the pecans, the olive oil, the Udo's essential oil, the new avocado... and yes, even the fat from the eggs is good for anyone!
How about the carbohydrates? Well, out of a total of forty eight grams, you've got twelve grams of dietary fiber. That's a pretty good ratio. Additionally, the healthy body fat and proteins with this meal will slow down the carbohydrate digestion, giving you a healthy glycemic response as well as steady controlled blood sugar.
O . k, so you're probably also asking yourself why there's no larger quantity of protein bulk. After all, protein is extremely popular with serious weightlifters, correct. Well, actually twenty three gr isn't too shabby, especially thinking about fourteen gr of that originates from the highly bioavailable protein bulk powder from the hard boiled eggs. Also consider that this meal has a whole lot of healthy fats, which increases the utilization of your protein. This happens because your body does not need to use your protein for energy, and can instead use it for muscle building or maintenance, and all of the other various functions that amino acids are needed for in the body.
Overall, with this meal plan, you've got a great mix of healthy fats, good fibrous carbs, quality protein, and a huge diversity of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other trace nutrients.
