Ever seen those protein power products advertised in health stores that promise to help you build incredible masses of muscle in a short period of time and to give you a body to be desired? Or better, have you ever seen an athlete that chug down copious amounts of protein-mixed shakes like there’s no tomorrow and looks like a hunk with rippling muscle and someone who normally graces the cover of Men’s magazines?

Well I have, and between you and me, it is not always a pleasant sight. Some do turn out looking great and with nice muscular and ripped bodies but others, such as an acquaintance that I know, end up with bodies that somehow do not look natural.

Between you and me, I think building muscle should be a natural process and actually there are many natural food that contain enough protein to fuel your muscle building routines and so below, I have listed the top best food for natural body building.

1) Eggs

Eggs are a tremendous source of protein with each egg containing about 5 grams of protein each and the best part is they are so small that it is easy to chug them down. You can consume them in a variety of manner – scrambled, sunny-side up, omelet style or even raw.

The most common way I have seen people wanting to put on muscle naturally is by breaking three eggs into a cup, mixing it and just downing it with a little bit of water. The only downside of eating too many eggs is the high cholesterol content of eggs but this can be resolved by removing the egg yolk as most of the protein is in the egg white. Nevertheless, eating eggs is a good source of protein for natural muscle building.

2) Tuna

Tuna is also a good source of protein and like eggs can be eaten in a variety of ways. You can eat it with bread to make a simple tuna sandwich or you can add it to your pasta (which, by the way, is also a good type of food to incorporate into your natural muscle building regime because it contains a lot of complex carbohydrates that provide the basic fuel for your body to generate energy). Besides protein tuna also contains Omega-3 acids which are known to improve your brain functions and so, tuba is a good food for natural muscle building overall.

3) Nuts

If you are nuts about natural body building, you should be crazy about nuts. Nuts are one of the best natural sources high in protein content and they are especially useful if you are not feeling particularly hungry after a work-out but still need protein to build your muscles. They are also healthy and are high in fiber which serves your body well in other ways besides body building. All in all, eggs, tuna and nuts are three good sources of natural good you should consider for natural muscle building.
