What should I eat for a diet to lose fat and build muscle? In general, a trainer would focus on losing fat or building muscle because he can push himself to the limit and get the maximum results from either.
However, it is possible to conquer both at once, but the key to achieving such results is diet.
Here is a sample of the diet to lose fat and build muscle:
1. If you want to build muscle and burn fat, you need to eat protein, and lots of it. Focus on lean proteins like chicken, turkey, tuna, skim milk, egg whites, and lean beef. Eating this will speed up your metabolism so you will burn fat while gaining muscle.
2. Only eat carbohydrates around training, all other meals should be protein. Try to stick to oatmeal, whole-grain bread, whole-grain pasta, potatoes, and fresh fruit.
An example of breakfast on this diet would be:
– 2 whole eggs with 4 scrambled egg whites.
– A cup of oatmeal with half a cup of mixed strawberries.
– A glass of skimmed milk.
This breakfast is packed with protein, healthy fats, low-glycemic carbohydrates, and vitamins. This is just one of the sample breakfasts featured in The Fat Loss, Muscle Building Diet.
You also have to train differently, you need to weight train at least 4 times a week focusing on heavy movements for 8-10 reps. This will ensure that your muscle grows from the strength of the weight, however cardio is also needed.
3-4 times a week you should be using the treadmill for 30 minutes, after training it is your best option. This will help burn fat as lean muscle tissue increases.
