I know the best way to get bigger is to have a good diet. But what is a good diet?

I eat shit and I know I do but I want to eat right. I just don't don't know what foods are the best for bulking up and helping muscle growth. There are the obvious ones like chicken for protein but what else is there out there?

Chicken, Turkey, Steak, Eggs, Milk, Bacon, Mince, Peanuts, Tuna. These are my fav' sources of protien.

On the back of any food product it will have a nutrition guide. Just make sure the fats ae low, carbs medium and protien high.

A good clean diet is cutting out the crap. Stick to good sources of protien as listed above and keep to good complex carbs like whoalgrains, rice, bread etc...... no white bread or rice though! Keep off the sugar, no sugar in tea or coffee, choc bars, fast foods, biscuits etc.

Keep your water intake high....... 8+ pints per day.

If your getting a good source of protien and carbs you will feel good and grow. A big must is to get some mixed veg in and some fruit. I eat 2 apples a day and 2 bananas. Also a good multi-vit, no Tesco's own stuff. Holland & Barrett do some good Multi-vits.

A good clean diet with training and rest will lead to looking good. It takes time but its worth it as your doing it for yourself. Lots of sports involve team work...... Bodybuilding is down to you. You put the correct foods in your mouth, train hard, rest well and you will get the benefits, no one else. When you take a before and after pic you can sit back and think 'I did that, no one else, just me and hard work'

Keep with it bud. Its January.......Give yourself a 6 month tarket!! By June you want to be looking good, then you can show off you hard work at the beach or something!

Ah how do J, how's things?

Thanks for that guys, I'll sit down and plan out what I need to be eating. I love Chicken, Turkey, Steak, Eggs, Milk, Bacon, Mince, Peanuts, Tuna (cut and paste lol) so that won't be a problem. The missus has got me eating veg, I just need to be better on the fruit side of it. My main problem is the amount of sweet stuff I eat so I'll try and cut it out starting today
