Protein, carbohydrates and fat

Diet

  • Your muscles don't grow in the gym, they grow during recovery, while you rest and eat. One of the biggest bodybuilding issues people don't know about is having a diet that is conducive to building muscle.
    A proper bodybuilding diet requires a different ratio of nutrients than normal, everyday diets. A good rule of thumb is 40-40-20. this means that 40 percent of your diet should consist of protein, 40 percent of carbohydrates, and 20 percent of fat. Of course, every person will have a different optimum ratio, so tweak this ratio from week to week to find out what works for you. Do not neglect fruits and vegetables while on this diet, as they contain nutrients vital to maintaining energy levels.
    Also, make a conscious effort to increase your water intake. Consume at least 0.6 oz of water per pound of body weight every day. Growing muscles require water, and not getting enough will hamper your gains.
