Healthy Fats You Need

Carbs might be the basis of your bulking diet, but don’t go thinking carbs and protein are the only macronutrients you should be consuming. Yes, you do need to include fats along your bulking diet. Low-fat cheese, eggs, red meat, and dairy are excellent sources of healthy fat. These food sources have just enough saturated fat to aid your body in production of testosterone while at the same time not clogging up your arteries for reduced blood flow.

The thing is, fat is an extreme necessity in our diet. That goes for anyone’s diet. If you’re not getting in enough saturated fat into your system, a lot of health issues can arise and not to mention reduce the production of testosterone to a great level. With your body not producing enough testosterone, it’ll be counter productive against your goal to gain maximum muscle mass. It’ll also have a drastic impact on your sex life if you’re not consuming enough saturated fats.

If you eat right, you’ll boost growth hormone levels, testosterone, insulin, and other anabolic hormones. You will yield the greatest gains in muscle mass if you follow through your muscle building diet. In order to gain maximum muscle mass, you should be eating 6-12 ounces of red meat and about 2-3 egg yolks per day for maximum gains in muscle mass.

You should also include sardines, canned salmon, shark, and even mackerels in your daily bulking diet for added fat content. They are pretty good if you know how to prep these foods. By including seafood into your diet, you will be able to supply your body with omega-3 fatty acids that prevent and fight muscle inflammation. If you’re one of those that are real hardcore into training, you know what I’m talking about.

By consuming more omega-3 fatty acids into your diet, your body will be able to produce more muscle glycogen and also boost your immune system. It’s beneficial to do so because as your body becomes more efficient in producing more muscle glycogen from the carbohydrates you consume, your body will start to produce less of body fat from carbs. So with that said, you’ll be able to get big and lean at the same time.
