If you want to add muscle mass fast and efficiently you need to eat correctly to not only help with the recovery of your hard workouts but to also lose any excess fat that you might be carrying. There is good news and bad news when it comes to eating correctly.

The good news is that you need to eat more often, that does not mean more but more often. The bad news is that you need to eat at least five times a day and up to seven or even eight times a day. This means that you are going to have to prepare your meals ahead of time in order to stop any impulse buying of junk food when you are hungry.

Below is a list of the kind of recommended eating plan that you should start on when adding muscle. But before we go to that there are a few points that need to be made. Even when you cut up, you need to constantly eat to supply your body with protein and to prevent your body from going into a catabolic state, in which it feeds off of itself in order to supply its body with nutrients.

The more muscle you have, the more fat you will burn to maintain it. Furthermore, if your body knows that food is definitely going to come it will use that food as readily burned energy. When you don't eat for long periods of time it stores that food as body fat to be preserved for food in a later time in the day. Often times it is not used as energy so the fat accumulates.

Also, you should be drinking at least a minimum of 1 gallons of water a day. Whether you are gaining mass or cutting up, your water consumption should not change. Water is the one of the most important nutrients your body can get. In addition, try to incorporate a variety of juices (ex: orange juice, apple juice, vegetable juice, etc.) into your fluid consumption to meet daily nutritional needs.
