best foods for muscular weight gain?

Question:

i know protein and complex carbs, but what else?

Answers:
You always want to increase weight with muscle weight. You have to slow your metabolism a little and increase the intensity of your workouts. Honestly if you only want to gain muscle you need to up your daily calorie intake, which includes proteins fats and carbs.

Proteins will help you build muscle but don’t overdo it, meaning don’t go stock up on peanut butter and tuna cans. Only so much protein can be used by your body a day the rest goes undigested to a degree.

Also make sure you get your proteins from vegetables as well as meats. Yes vegetables, you would be surprised how many bodybuilders are vegetarians. Legumes (beans), Leafy green vegetables have proteins as well as whole grains (rice). When eaten in combination vegetables and whole grains containing proteins can form whats called a complete protein which is better used by your body to build muscle.

Building muscle in your workouts requires high intensity resistance training, so if you haven’t been lifting weights build up to it gradually. Taking longer rests between your sets will allow more muscle fibers to be built, and drink plenty of water.

As far as supplements go, everything God put on this earth for you to eat works just as well as any supplement. All supplements do is try to give you what you can get from your food and give you results you get from hard work and smart eating. A good multivitamin is just about all you need as far as supplements go. Weight gain supplements have way to many side effects to be worth it.

There are certain foods that are beneficial and certain you should avoid.

Drink sufficient pure water -- your weight divided by 2 = ounces per day. Take fluids between meals, using reverse osmosis purified water, unsweetened juices, and herbal beverages. Try liquid chlorophyll in pure water, it is delicious and refreshing!

*A minimum of 50% of your food should be alive -- fresh, raw, unprocessed. Dead food cannot build strong bodies. Eat foods in season and foods that can spoil. (But eat them before they spoil, of course!)More is preferable!

*Eliminate foods used in a microwave. Try to eliminate using the microwave for anything you eat or drink.

*Eliminate processed sugars and white flour and any foods that contains these; i.e., read labels.
Substitute whole grain foods for white -- stone ground whole wheat, brown rice, etc.

*Avoid all stimulants. They are very hard on the adrenal glands. (Coffee, cigarettes, chocolate, cola drinks, alcohol, aspirin, black tea -- herbal tea acceptable.)

There is plenty more. Check the source for the complete list.
