Question: Is it possible to gain muscle mass with a poor diet.?


( Back )

Answer #1:

You will not gain muscle with that diet, no matter how much you work out. Muscle is formed with proteins, and your diet has very little protein (I think Ramen noodles only has 6 grams)

Answer #2:

It's possible if you're still working out, but it's easier if you have a full healthy diet.

Answer #3:

It's important to eat good to remain fit. Acai berry is an exciting super food that keeps you fit and additionally has the bonus of assisting you to lose a lot of weight. There is a free trial going on currently at Click Here , why not try it, why not?

Answer #4:

If u a working out then yep

Answer #5:

not on that diet you need protein, you could use protein powder shakes, there expensive but do work well.

Answer #6:

It's possible to build SOME muscle, but NOWHERE near as much than if you where eating healthy.

A person can workout as much as they want, but if they don't get enough protein, it's all a waste of time. Since your muscles will have nothing to rebuild themselves with.

Answer #7:

DO not go to the website about acai that the guy told you about. i tried once with the same idea, they are all scams though. Dont llearn it the hard way. I had to cancel my credit card because they keep billing you, there is a catch, even though i did get the supplement.

This being said, acai is supposed to be a very good supplement. Buy it offf amazon.com or in your local store such as super supplements. Good luck!

try to eat foods like red meat, beef jerkey, protein bars from the store or protein powder after your workout and also eat fruit and shit all day son good luck

Answer #8:

Working out puts an even higher demand on your body for protein & fuel. Without proper nourishment & working out, your body will have to strip it's own lean tissues for nourishment & to lighten the load.

Eating healthy & eating cheap are not necessarily non exclusive. Beans & rice make a complete cheap protein. Eggs are probably cheaper to eat than peanut butter. Isn't peanut butter like $3# (& not even a complete protein)? For $3, you should be able to get 6# chicken leg quarters.

You have to cook but it can be done. Rice, dried beans, potatoes, pasta are usually cheap.

If I only had a few bucks and nothing to work with at home (no basics) I'd buy cheapest per pound of rice, dried beans, bag potatoes, pasta, tomato paste, salt & 10# chicken leg quarters. (you could render chicken fat and use on potatoes instead of buying butter or margarine and use in cooking instead of buying oil) You should be able to get all that for about $10+ I might consider skipping the potatoes to buy larger rice, beans, pasta & tomato paste. Usually (not always) you can get twice as much for very little more money. Consider quantity for $ versus cheapest unit price.

If I had less to work with I'd buy 10# chicken quarters ($4-5), lots of pasta ($3), salt ($1) & several tomato paste ($1) would be a little less than $10 but hopefully the chicken can be stretched for long time - use bone stock and a little tomato paste to make sauce. Chicken cacciatore (chicken, tomato sauce over pasta) was our main meal when we were broke. Chicken could really be stretched with more pasta and tomato sauce. Add bone stock & greens to the sauce for extra nutrition. The next buy could be rice & beans.

I try not to buy anything over .50 a pound when I'm watching pennies. Most stores sell 10# of chicken leg quarters for $4-$5 (less than .50#) and well worth it for the bones alone. Do not waste the bones & fat, render the fat & use for cooking, chop up fat chunks left over after rendering and add to soups & sauces with some of the meat. Don't eat the meat alone, add it to sauces and soups to stretch it. You can use the bones 3-4x to make bone stock (add vinegar and simmer a couple of days) Do not include meat in the long simmering. I add my old bones to my new bones and store in freezer. Use the stock to make soups and add to everything for more nutrition. Eggs are sometimes cheap. Buy lots if they are less than $1 dozen (wash egg shells with vinegar and add to bone stock for more calcium) Store brand processed cheese is usually half cost of hard cheese (this may be a luxury item at this point). Buy the huge (gallon or more) plastic container of mayo, it may be a lot to invest at one time but it's half cost of smaller bottles. Use instead of buying salad dressing. You can make egg salad or chicken salad and stretch it with lots mayo (added calories) mix with thinly shredded cabbage & carrots for more body.

Fresh cabbage is about the cheapest most versatile veg. Carrots are usually cheap and nutritious also. Canned collard, turnip and mustard greens are all highly nutritious and fairly cheap & can be added to soups & sauces for added nutrition. Canned tomatoes, watch the per ounce prices, don't just grab. You would probably be better off just using tomato paste and adding water or bone stock. A little tomato paste will make a lot of tomato sauce or you could make catsup with it. Sometimes you can get huge gallons of pickles fairly cheap (couple bucks) Make sure you have apple cider vinegar on hand.

I would suggest contacting social services about food stamps.

Answer #9:

Not likely! Nutrition is 70% of your success, so you have to focus on it. Otherwise your training will go to waste. Remember you are breaking down muscle tissue during your workout, with poor nutrition you will be sabotaging yourself. Also, make sure you are consuming a high quality chemical free whey protein minus the fillers and additives.
