There are foods that are considered muscle building foods. I don’t think you can really construct a top 10 list of these foods. You can’t necessarily rank them. But it is good to know what these foods are. You need to be eating quality sources when you’re trying to work on your body and your muscular composition. It’s more than what you eat. It’s the timing of what you eat as well. Food does in fact impact your ability to build muscle and add muscle. Also, building muscle isn’t just about getting high quality protein sources, carbs and fats play into the muscle building equation as well.
Here’s a GREAT rule to follow. Consume NO fat immediately following your workout, but DO eat simple carbohydrates.
Basically, post-workout is the time for carbs that break down quickly. Resist the temptation to make something with fat in it a snack when you finish training. You want the muscle to quickly absorb the nutrients during this period of time and fat will slow down this process.
