Mass attack: a month-long menu for maximum muscle growth

Men's Fitness, Oct, 2004 by Thomas Incledon

This month's plan will help you shatter your previous records on your quest for ultimate muscle growth. The 3,500-calorie-a-day, high-protein diet is designed to provide the majority of your carbs and calories earlier in the day, when you're more likely to burn them for energy instead of storing them as fat.

This plan also utilizes quick, portable meals and snacks you can easily take to work (fruit, single-serving cups of milk), as well as larger recipes that will last all week, keeping you out of the kitchen and in the gym--where you belong. (The excess filling for our Spicy Chicken Burritos, for example, can be tossed into the freezer and reheated as needed, while our Mexican Chicken Chili should keep in the fridge for up to a week.) Based on your existing diet and fitness level, expect to gain one-half to two pounds of pure muscle each week.
