5 Foods To Help You Build Muscle Faster After 50 (ADD THESE TO YOUR PLAN!)

As a man over 50, building muscle plays a huge key in our natural production of testosterone. As we get older, our testosterone tends to naturally decline. We can’t stop it completely, but we can fight back against the loss of our needed male hormones. Having less fat and more muscle is crucial for our testosterone production. When you think of building muscle, you think of resistance training and lifting weights at the gym or at home. While that is the major key for building muscle, there are some needs you need to fo to help optimize muscle growth.

Aside from resistance training, there are 2 more major keys for building muscle faster after 50. Recovery and getting good quality sleep is another crucial part for building muscle. That is the time when your body works on repairing the muscle fibers you damage from your workouts, helping them grow bigger during the recovery.

The last major component is nutrition. In order to build more muscle, you need to make sure that you are consuming enough protein. Protein is the most needed food group in order to build more muscle during your recovery from your workouts. There are a lot of foods you can eat, supplements you can, protein powder you can drink to get protein in your body. That is why I am going to give you 5 great foods that you can eat to help you build more muscle faster after 50.

Here are the 5 foods to help you build muscle faster after 50. Make sure to add these to your nutrition plan to build more muscle faster, regardless of your age!

George "Body Builder" Busch. Thanks for that advice.

Thanks Mark. Us “hardgainers” are often forgotten about. But after 50 I’m definitely finding fat is much easier to put on than muscle, even while still having a slim overall look. It’s hard to gain the muscle.

Middle aged lifelong skinny weight trainier here - I could eat the whole menu and still burn it all off just breathing. Great tips, thanks!

Thanks for this video. After decade of being extremely skinny and not gaining weight, I’ve been on a mission to gain weight and build back muscle loss. Gaining back extra appetite to eat much more has been challenging. I eat out a lot at all you can eat places to get enough calories. I am finally gaining weight and with weight lifting, getting muscle mass back. People are shocked when they find out how old I am. I look 50 but I am 70 now.

I am one of these guys - I already eat these foods. I was 120 lbs when I was 18 and 190 with 5.5% bf at 46. I've given up gaining more. If eat more my metabolism speeds up - if I work out harder, my metabolism speeds up. To gain weight I had to eat nonstop all day every day - and that is NOT fun. So I am good where I am - at this age it is so much less about vanity and more about health. With the health comes the vanity - and hopefully longevity.

Dude, those fried egg sandwiches are the way to go. I throw a smashed avocado in there too it's amazing that's what I have for breakfast 3 days out of the week and those are my favorite 3 days for sure

[MrCubansurfer]

1) Eggs with keto bread
2) Protein Shakes (I don’t like them)
3) Avocados
4) Peanut butter and jelly sandwich
5) Oatmeal (horrible for your stomach)

Get a glucose meter and check out blood sugars. After 60, MANY are having insulin resistance (prediabetes) and don't even realize it. Most carbs like breads and sugars like jelly will spike blood sugar. This is just as important as keeping the muscle strong!

Dave's killer bread thin slice has lots of protein.

[jasonh]

Tia k you for sharing. I am pescatarian but I know what to switch some items with.

[jasonhurst]

For the PB&J Sandwich you should have emphasized to use NATURAL Peanut Butter; and NOT "regular" JIF, Skippy, Kraft, type PB. Those ones have a lot of very unhealthy Hydrogenated Oils, and Trans Fats; whereas the Natural PB's do not. But still contain plenty of protein and healthy fat.

[Fantasma_g]

To some that don’t like oatmeal. You can go with cream of rice. Mix it up with your protein shake or just eat it like that and add some of your favorite fruits with eggs and maybe a bagel
