Nutrition for maximizing muscle gains

Post by AnthonyDee »

New article by the folks at Myolean Fitness on nutrition for building muscle:

Cliffs:
1. Eat in a surplus of 200-300 calories per day
2. Set protein intake at around 1 gram per lb of LBM and split daily intake into 3-5 protein feedings of equal size, distributed evenly throughout the day
3. Eat around 30% of total calories from fat, the rest being primarily carbs
4. Get the majority of your calories from a variety of minimally-processed, micronutrient-dense foods and drink enough fluids so that you have five clear urinations per day

Try to eat dense food. Here is an interesting study, published in today's eMaxHealth that supports the idea that eating less of the higher-calorie-dense foods and more of the nutritious, lower-calorie-dense foods can help to manage hunger while consuming fewer calories.
