You have been slogging it out in your gym everyday for the last 3 months and yet your muscles are not getting toned, then it is time to introspect.

If the answer to all these are yes then no need to think of any other reasons, the culprit is your diet. As we work out to strengthen our muscle we need some proteins to repair some of the damaged muscles.

No matter how much you slog it out unless you follow a strict diet as per your body requirement your muscles will not get in to proper shape.  This article aims at giving you the insights for a perfect diet to muscle toning.

You cannot have a diet that does not include egg whites. These are the best source of proteins. Regular consumption of eggs increases your weekly protein intake. The egg yolk does contain some fats, but you can always eliminate it from the egg.

For vegetarians the best protein rich food is soybean. It also gives you the necessary vitamins, minerals and fiber. All the varieties of beans contain the above mentioned ingredients but soybean is the best amongst them.

Green leafy vegetables contain lots of proteins in them and are healthier than animal proteins. The best source has to be lentils.

For non vegetarians chicken is the best alternative as not only does it have a high concentration of proteins, the level of fats in it is minimal. There are many more sources of proteins; however the above mentioned ones are typical sources.

Just keep a tab on your diet and continue the work out regime to get the elusive muscle tone.
