To achieve a fit and muscular body it is absolutely essential that you eat a well-balanced and healthy diet that contains appropriate amounts of protein, carbohydrates and fats. Protein is the building block of muscle, so if you want to get buff, you must eat plenty of this nutrient. Chicken breasts, whole eggs, egg whites, milk, tuna, turkey, lean beef and protein powders are all excellent sources of protein.

Water is vital to your body's health and drinking enough of it will ensure that you remain properly hydrated. Aim to drink approximately one gallon of water per day.

To add bulk, you need to consume at least 4000-6000 calories each day from foods, which are calorie dense. Some examples of calorie-dense foods are pasta, nuts, eggs, bagels, trail mix and steaks. Since vegetables have low calorie-density, keep their intake to a minimum.

Commit to all of you workouts and make sure that you do not stop throughout your progress.
