Muscle Building Foods – Building Muscle for Skinny Guys

So you’re skinny and you want to build muscle. We’ve all been there. You’ve been called skinny, twig, anorexic, “you gotta get some meat on those bones” – you’ve heard it all. Well you’ve come to the right place. To build muscle, you need to do two things:

Consume more protein
Lift heavier weights

That’s it. Of course it can get a little complicated with the specifics, but it doesn’t need to be.

How Much Protein Do I Need?

General rule of thumb – 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight per day. If you weight 150 pounds, you’re going to want to take 150 grams of protein every day.

Well damn, that’s a lot of protein! How can I ever consume so much? Well let’s break it down. You can find protein in a lot of sources – eggs, chicken, steak, beans – but you’re looking to cut to the chase. Once you get yourself some high end but inexpensive protein powder, you’ll be set.

1 banana
Ice cubes

Blend it up and you got yourself a delicious chocolate smoothie just like when you were a kid. Yeah, I know, it’s a bit chalky and thick but that’s the small price you pay to start packing on muscle.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Smoothie Recipe

What you throw in the blender:

2 scoops of chocolate protein

Once again blend it up and you got yourself a protein rich smoothie that tastes like Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup’s awkward cousin. It’s good and it gets the job done.

Vanilla Badass Protein Shake Recipe

Prepare to have your taste buds rocked. What you throw in the blender:

Where can I get protein?

The best kind of protein has between 20 and 40 grams of protein per serving. From our experience, the best is Optimum Nutrition Performance Whey Protein Powder and it can be purchased from Amazon. If you have Amazon prime, you can get it even quicker.
