Muscle Building Nutrition – Everything You Need To Know – Part I of III

When it comes to muscle building nutrition, you’ve got to have everything spot on if you expect to get a hard muscular body you’re going to be proud of.  Getting a diet that’s primed to build muscle is one of the toughest things to do and is where many people fail.  To ensure you don’t become one of those casualties, here’s a list of things you need to be doing as far as nutrition goes:

1.    Get Enough Protein

When it comes to muscle building nutrition, priority #1 is to get at least 1.5x your bodyweight in grams of protein each day.  This will wind up being 35% of your diet.

2.    Take In Plenty of Complex Carbs

In addition to the protein, you’re also going to want to get lots of complex carbs for energy.  Complex carbs such as oatmeal, brown rice, brown bread, yams, veggies, fruits and cottage cheese are all good candidates.  Stay away from all simple carbs like white bread, pasta, processed and fast foods!  This will be another 45% of your diet.

3.    Get Your Fatty Acids

Fat is not the enemy!  You need to make sure you get in enough unsaturated fats which you’ll find in nuts, flax seed oil and omega-3 supplements.  This will make up the last 20% of your diet.

4.    Drink A Gallon Of Water A Day

You need to be drinking a ton of water to keep your system operating at peak efficiency.  It’s key for your overall health as well as muscle growth.

5.     Get Your Daily Fiber

Another key to muscle building nutrition is to make sure you’re getting your daily fiber.  Eat foods high in fiber, supplement with Metamucil if you have to or psyllium husk.  Go for 30g a day.
