When you get ready
to design
muscle
building diets,
you need to put a lt of thought into it. I’m going to help
you by bringing to light most of the requirements in an organized way
to help you understand them better.
Anything we take into our body will be
processed and used for energy or fuel, which we need to keep performing
all activities. These fuels are known as calories and our bodies need a
certain amount every day, just like your car needs gas for it to run.
Take your body weight and multiply it by 15.
The average 180lb man will
need approximately 2700 calories a day to keep his body happy.
Protein is going to be one of the most
important nutrients inside most of the muscle building diets
you’ll come across. Protein which the body uses to regenerate
the muscle fibers after workouts and stress, cause the muscles to come
back better, tighter, fuller, and larger!
When you’re really
trying to increase your muscle, you need to make sure you are raising
your intake levels of protein and amino acids. The average ratio should
be 1:1 grams of intake to pound of body weight. This will provide you
with an adequate supply of essential and non-essential amino acids for
your muscle repair.
Let’s not forget about the carbs,
or carbohydrates, which make up to 55 % of most muscle building diets.
Carbs can be good or bad; depending on which ones you choose, kind of
like rap music.
Simple carbohydrates are bad and are most
commonly
found in sugary sweet treats we crave. Complex carbohydrates are good
and are most common in whole wheat bread, whole grain pastas (the brown
ones) and brown rice. Basically, stay away from the white stuff.
Fat can’t be forgotten when it
comes to muscle building diets. Fat, yes fat, is an essential
supplement but shouldn’t be more than 15% of any of the
muscle building diets you try. Look for good fats, like nuts, oily fish
like salmon or mackerel, flax seeds, or virgin olive oil.
Following these tips for your muscle
building diets means you’ll have complex carbohydrates, high
proteins, and good fats all rolled into one little diet.
