How to Bulk Up Your Young Athlete’s Meals to Add Muscle

Can food alone help your teen athlete build muscle, without a ton of expensive and questionable supplements?

Learn how to add muscle with these easy meal-bulking examples I reveal in this video.

How to build muscle is a common question from parents of teen athletes that I work with, and my answer is… food first, supplements second.

Bulking up their meals with the additional three components of protein, carbohydrates, and calories necessary for muscle growth is easier than you think!

Watch for my real-world examples in my kitchen for easily adding sources of these three components to meals with items you likely already have in your cupboard. There are plenty of tips for different dietary preferences, so get ready to take notes!
