Publisher's Synopsis
Bodybuilding: 50 low budget, high protein recipes for muscle mass is a cookbook designed for those who are trying to build muscle and shed fat while keeping things fresh and exciting in the kitchen while on a budget. The number one reason while people tend to fall off the waggon when incorporating a new healthy diet into their life is when they don't make the effort in the kitchen and after all that's where muscles are built. You can lift all the weights you like for whatever duration it doesn't matter, if you aren't feeding your muscles the proper fuel they need when they need it, then all the effort in the gym will go to waste. The contents of this book not only breaks down when to eat certain types of food to optimise muscle gains while shedding fat, it also provides a scientific method used by many fitness trainers within the industry to calculate what your exact energy needs should be. With a little time dedicated to this, it will become much easier to create a diet plan specific for you to build muscle outside of the gym and lose fat while in the process. I am a certified Personal Trainer within the UK and have been working within the industry for over 5 years. I am passionate about helping people to build lean muscle mass, lose weight and re-introducing them to fitness. The most important aspect to achieving any of the above is to have the correct diet which is both delicious and nutritious, without these two elements failure is just a few blocks down the road. For each recipe I have an exact breakdown of the nutrition facts of each recipe so you know exactly what you'll be taking in along with exact portions size of each macronutrient within each recipe complete with a step by step cooking process. Also inside, I have created an example shopping list for your first week's shop along with a price guideline of each item. Once you've calculated your energy needs it becomes very easy to look at the recipes with the nutrition facts and then add them to your diet plan. You can then calculate how much of each food you need for the week and create a shopping list. When you're on a budget, taking the time to calculate your nutrition needs will really make the difference in your wallet. It's a good idea to stick to certain foods for each week to not only keep things fresh in the kitchen but to save money also. If you were to buy every ingredient within the cookbook that's when things start to get pricey. Each category of the cookbook contains a short introduction of the importance of the type of food to consume at that time of the day and why. The categories include: -Muscle building breakfasts -Pre-workout recipes -Immediately after workout recipes -Post workout recipes -Before bed recipes -Non-training day menu -Healthy deserts
