I’m starting to work out and is there any food or drink I can use to help aid in building muscles? Protein does that right? Help. Thanks.

What are the best products for muscle building other than whey protein? I am looking to bulk up and would prefer not to eat 10X a day but would obviously like to gain a lot more muscle mass. I do eat well and drink a few protein shakes a day because drinking is easier for me than eating a bunch of food throughout the day. I am about 5ft 10 and 165 pounds and would like to be about 190 - 200 pounds with good lean muscle mass.

AG asked:


Are carbs necessary to build muscle? I eat a lot of protein (200-300 grams a day) and plenty of “good” fats (flax seed, almonds, etc), but I probably only eat 100 grams a day of carbs.

I realize that in order to build muscle I have to eat enough total calories. So assuming that my overall caloric intake is high enough, will my relatively low carb intake hinder my muscle growth?

Thanks!

I currently take protein and lift 4-5 times a week. I recently decided to start running as well, but i am not sure if it will hinder my muscle building if i run right after a workout.
