Although resistance training is a necessary part of stacking on lean muscle, your work to a better physique starts well before you hit the gym. In fact, building muscle begins in the kitchen. A healthy diet will fuel your workouts, provide energy, and give your muscles the building blocks necessary to repair. When walking through the grocery store make sure to include a variety of fruits and vegetables as they contain essential vitamins, minerals, fiber, and fluids for energy. You can find excellent sources of protein in lean meats, eggs, and dark-meat chicken. Nuts and beans are also excellent sources of protein, but they also contain vitamins, antioxidants, fiber, and healthy fats.
