Sample Mass-Building Menu

Outlined below is a sample mass-building menu.  Doing the physical work without eating the right amount of the right foods will only lead to over training and poor gains. On the other hand, if everything is done correctly, the gains can be amazing.

MEAL 1: 8 egg whites
2 servings of oatmeal or grits (with fruit, honey, etc.)
1 protein drink
MEAL 2: 2 skinless chicken breasts
2 plain baked potatoes
1 serving of broccoli
MEAL 3: 2 pieces of baked fish or chicken
1 large serving of pasta (plain or with a low-fat sauce)
1 large salad (with a low-fat dressing - I use lemon juice)
1 protein drink
MEAL 4: 2 skinless chicken breasts or red meat
1 large bowl of rice
1 banana
MEAL 5: 2 servings baked turkey breast
2 yams or sweet potatoes
1 protein drink
MEAL 6:

8 egg whites
1 skinless chicken breast
1 baked potato

In the menu outlined above, I mention protein drinks. Incorporating protein drinks into your diet is a quick way to get the calories you need while adding critical vitamins, minerals and protein that your body will utilize immediately. I also feel it is important to take a multi-mineral vitamin and amino acids, both preferably in capsule form.

I am confident that if you follow this basic plan, you will gain quality mass. Remember, gains don't come overnight, but believe me, they do come. With hard work and determination anyone can gain the mass they want.
