00:00Want to build muscle faster and more effectively? Your workouts matter,
00:03but your diet is what truly fuels muscle growth. In this video, we'll uncover the top bodybuilding
00:08foods that help you gain lean muscle, recover faster, and stay energized, naturally.
00:13Let's dive in. Section 1. Eggs.
00:16First up, eggs, they're the gold standard for muscle-building foods. Packed with high-quality
00:21protein, healthy fats, and essential nutrients like vitamin B12 and choline, eggs help in muscle
00:26repair and energy production. One egg contains about 6 grams of protein, making it a powerful
00:31start to your day. Section 2.
00:34Next, we have chicken breast, a favorite among bodybuilders. It's low in fat and rich in lean
00:39protein, with about 26 grams per 100 grams. Chicken helps repair muscle fibers after workouts,
00:45promotes muscle growth, and keeps you full longer. Grill it, bake it, or stir-fry, it's a must-have.
00:51Section 3. Greek Yogurt.
00:53Don't skip Greek yogurt, it's thicker, creamier, and has almost twice the protein of regular yogurt.
00:59Plus, it combines whey and casein proteins, perfect for both quick recovery and slow muscle
01:03repair overnight. Add some berries or honey and enjoy it as a snack or post-workout meal.
01:09Section 4. Oats.
01:10Oats are not just carbs, they're complex carbs. This means they release energy slowly,
01:15keeping you fueled during long workouts. They're also packed with fiber, iron, and magnesium,
01:20all essential for muscle function and endurance. Combine them with milk or yogurt and power through
01:25your training. Section 5.
01:27Salmon. Salmon is a double threat, it delivers about 22 grams of protein per serving and is
01:32rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3s reduce inflammation, improve recovery, and support
01:37hormone levels that regulate muscle growth. It's brain food and body food in one.
01:42Section 6. Beans and Lentils.
01:45On a budget, go for beans and lentils. They're rich in plant-based protein, iron, and fiber,
01:50great for muscle recovery and digestion. Add them to rice, salads, or soups. They're perfect
01:56for vegetarians or anyone trying to eat cleaner. Section 7. Nuts and Nut Butters.
02:01Almonds, peanuts, and nut butters are calorie-dense and packed with protein, healthy fats,
02:05and magnesium. They help you maintain a calorie surplus, essential for muscle growth,
02:10without feeling overly full. Just stick to natural versions without added sugar.
02:15Section 8. Bonus Tip, Water and Hydration.
02:18And don't forget water, muscles are made up of about 75% water. Staying hydrated boosts endurance,
02:24improves nutrient delivery, and prevents cramps. So drink up before, during, and after your workouts.
