Food That Is Good For Building Muscle

For this week's Get Fit For 2010 challenge, I'm asking you to keep a food journal. Tracking what you eat is a great way to lose or maintain weight, as well as make sure you're getting enough of all the good stuff you need to function through the day. I've decided to combine this week's challenge with my New Year's resolution to increase my strength and endurance by eating this meal plan of muscle-building foods.

Muscle mass keeps blood sugar levels even and since maintaining muscle protein requires more energy than fat, having more muscle means you burn more calories. When it comes down to feeding your muscles think protein, protein, and more protein.
