FOOD FOR A BIGGER BOOTY
Summer is here and we’re all thinking the same thing – how to eat clean and get a bigger booty? Everyone always talks about how abs are made in the kitchen, but having a clean and healthy diet will help every part of your body (inside and out). Keep reading to see how food for a bigger booty can be that easy.
HERE’S THE GIST
- Calories + Carbs: This one’s pretty obvious! Keep in mind, calories and carbs are not the enemy and they can be good for you. Healthy carbs (such as those found in sweet potato and brown rice) are great to add into your daily diet for a bigger booty, leaner stomach, and that full feeling. Try to stray away from unhealthy and processed carbs. Speaking of calories, the average woman needs about 16 calories/day per to build muscle.
- Keep Up The Protein: Protein builds muscle and helps build up that booty. Your body typically needs 1gram of protein per pound. If you weigh 145lbs, try to be eating 145g of protein every day! I try to add in a few scoops of protein powder to my shakes everyday and it simplifies adding protein into my diet.
NOW, ONTO THE FOODS!
- Eggs: Eggs are crazy nutritious and perfect for all those breakfast lovers. Well, they’re perfect even if you don’t love breakfast (I add eggs to everything). Eggs provide selenium, vitamin B12, riboflavin, and about 6g of proteins. Plus, leucine (which is found in eggs), has been shown to stimulate those muscles and reduce muscle protein breakdown!
- Salmon: I absolutely love salmon and it’s jam-packed with protein. 22g of protein, in fact. Fatty fish like salmon are loaded with omega-3 fatty acids, too, which provides numerous health benefits.
- Nuts: Nuts are great for a dose of healthy fats and butters like cashew, almond, and peanut butter are so easy to add into your diet! Each tablespoon has about 4g of protein. Anddd, almonds and cashews pack about 160 high-quality calories per serving.
- Greek Yogurt: This breakfast food boasts a good amount of calcium, B12, phosphorus, riboflavin, and provides 24g of protein in each cup. I always recommend greek yogurt over regular yogurt because it contains nearly twice the amount of protein! A study in 30 people showed that consuming Greek yogurt improved muscle thickness, strength, and body composition more than a placebo. Time to start adding to your breakfast?
- Quinoa: Quinoa is a very rich seed that offers 8g of protein per ¼ cup. Gotta love ALL that protein! It also provides a ton of essential amino acids which is essential because your body can’t produce those on their own. It’s also high in complex carbs – which is perfect pre-workout.
- Sweet Potato: One cup of sweet potato provides about 180 calories and 4g of protein. Plus, a LOT of healthy vitamins and antioxidants. Vitamin A, vitamin C, manganese, vitamin B6, the list goes on and on!
- Avocado: Avocado is perfect for adding onto anything and everything. Works for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert! It’s rich in vitamin C, potassium, vitamin B6, and magnesium. It’s also shown to reduce exercise-induced muscle damage + soreness because of the antioxidants.
