Peanut butter is in my opinion one of the best sources of calories for someone who has trouble gaining weight. Nowadays due to the popularity of energy bars, weight gainers, and protein powders, many athletes and weightlifters seem to forget about including real meals within their diet plan
It can become tiresome doing the same routine day in and day out and let’s face it sometimes you just don’t want liquid calories but something more delicious and substantial to eat.
Instead of getting the bulk of your calories from protein by consuming protein shakes, why not substitute your supplementation regime on some days with real foods that will offer you the same nutritional profile?
Then you get the best of both worlds: a high protein nutritious meal and a break from the mundane routine. The less monotonous the routine the more likely you are to stick with the muscle building program.
Why peanut butter? Well, peanut butter is an awesome muscle building superfood because its high in calories and an affordable source of protein and healthy fats that are needed to build and repair muscles.
