Are your thighs too thin? To grow your thigh muscles, increase the intensity of your workouts and gradually increase your strength training over time. Squats, lunges, and leg presses are all great options for strengthening your leg muscles. Eat more calories to fuel your workout and make sure you eat plenty of protein. Read on to learn more about how to make your thighs stronger.
Method 3: Nutritious diet to build muscle
1. Eat more than usual. Building muscle requires a lot of energy. You need to eat more than your average three meals a day. Some fitness professionals recommend eating five meals a day, with each meal containing a larger portion than normal. This may feel uncomfortable, but if you want to gain stronger muscles, you must consume enough energy for your muscles to burn.
Eat before and after your workout. This ensures that your muscles never run out of energy.
Eat healthy carbs before your workout. Quinoa, brown rice, and whole grains are all good sources of carbohydrates.
2. Get calories from healthy natural foods. Eating more does not mean eating unhealthy food. Get your calories from healthy, all-natural foods that are free of salt, sugar and preservatives.
Eat home-cooked meals as often as possible. Don't rely on protein bars and energy drinks for energy. Eating real food is healthier for your muscles.
Stay away from fast food, salty snacks and desserts - these will only make you feel tired, which will then make it harder for you to exercise.
3. Make sure there is protein in every meal. Protein is essential for building muscle, and when you focus on building muscle protein should be the centerpiece of all your meals. In addition to all-natural grains, legumes, and plenty of fruits and vegetables, eat more meat, fish, and eggs to ensure your daily protein intake.
Try to buy farm-raised, hormone-free meat. If you're going to eat a lot of meat, you don't want to be taking in a lot of hormones and chemicals at the same time.
