Body Building Food List

By -
Below I am going to list all the foods that should be in your shopping cart and the ones that shouldn't. This doesn't mean that you can't have a cheat meal from time to time but sticking with the good foods will help you reach your goals a lot faster than the latter.
Good Sources Of Protein:
  • Egg - Grand Daddy of all foods. I like to have 1 whole egg for every 3 whites. So breakfast might include 6 egg whites and 2 whole eggs.
  • Liquid Egg Whites - This is just pure egg whites. More convenient than cracking all the eggs and discarding the yolk but will cost you a little more.
  • Skinless Chicken Breast or Cutlets - Lean, inexpensive, high quality protein; staple of every diet.
  • Lean Ground Turkey - Lean high quality protein. Little more expensive than chicken breast.
  • Top Round Steak - Lean cut of meat. Has more fat than chicken but great source of meat. Definitely something you want to have in the off-season and can be eaten while dieting in moderation.
  • Filet Mignon - Tasty lean cut of meat. Expensive but worth it every once in a while.
  • Buffalo - Lean red meat, very tasty but super expensive. Give it a try.
  • Flounder - Inexpensive lean fish.
  • Cod - Inexpensive lean fish.
  • Pollock - Lean fish.
  • Wild Salmon - Healthy fatty fish. I get my salmon wild because the quality is a lot better but that results in a higher cost.
  • Canned Tuna - Lean inexpensive fish. If you worry about your sodium you might want to cut down on this. Make sure you get the one in water not oil.
  • Turkey Bacon - Leaner than regular bacon, not something I have all the time but I am a bacon lover so adding this to my breakfast in the off-season is something I like.
  • Lean Ground Beef - Make sure you get something that is at least 90% lean. This can be a great off-season source of protein.
  • Cottage Cheese - Slow digesting form of protein. Great for having when you have to go a long time in-between meals and also excellent to have before bed.
  • Pork Tenderloin - Inexpensive lean protein.
  • Wild Sea Bass - Lean high quality protein. Expensive side.
  • Wild Swordfish - Lean high quality protein. Expensive.

Spring has arrived. Your winter body hasn’t left. The answer: outdoor workouts. Porcelain skin and a spare tyre (or two) are both best tackled under the sun’s glare. A study published in the International Journal of Environmental Health Research  found exercising outdoors has a positive effect on your stress levels and self-esteem. You’ll be knackered, but you’ll be smiling. We've teamed up with personal trainer Jason Doggett ( muddyplimsolls.com ) to prepare a circuit that will strip fat, build lean muscle and save you cash.

Step things up a notch by swapping your rest periods for burpees or squat thrusts. 1. Press-ups – 20 reps Go back to basics to get your upper body firing.

How to Become Rich Before 30

By -
If there is one universal truth, it’s that everyone is looking to get rich quick. This probably explains why so many people are willing to believe there’s a Nigerian prince out there with their email address, ready and willing to mail them money. Truth is, whether looking for your dream job or starting up a new company, too many young people are looking to strike gold as quickly and easily as possible. As someone who made my first million before I turned 30, the question of how to become a young millionaire often arises. Unfortunately, I don’t know of any magic pill to take or button to press to become instantly successful. For starters, I followed the  10,000 hour rule of mastering any subject , deferring parties in college to spend sleepless nights working on business plans with a select group of other broke overachievers. Along with my 13 other roommates, I spent most of my formative “party” years working hard, mastering skills and eating a lot of Ramen noodles. I know it’s
