The Secret to best Muscle Building & Weight Training Diet Plan - Diet to Make Muscle Grow

I wish I had this Muscle Building & Weight Training Diet information when I began. Don't re-invent the wheel. Follow the Success Recipe to Build your Muscle Building Diet plan.

In addition to Weight Training with the Best Muscle Building Exercises, you need quality Nutrition to ensure your bodies' needs to build muscle mass fast.

The Secret to Building Muscle is Calories. Not just Protein but overall calories. Weight Gain and Weight Loss are the product of calories in and calories out. But since specific calories determine if we gain or lose either muscle or fat, to improve out body composition we need to learn the right type of nutrients. The number 1 reason people do not gain weight is under eating. Building Muscle requires you to have a disciplined approach with regards to Diet.

If you see the Muscle Cycle there are 3 phases. An energy producing phase when muscles are actively breaking themselves{ glycogen } to provide workout energy and then later the repair phase, followed by the growth phase. Nutrient deficiency at any phase and you will NOT build Muscle. At best you may remain the same and at worst you might lose weight. What a nightmare for someone who wants to Build Muscle and gain weight.

Muscle Building Diet Tips.

1. Muscles require high quality nutrients supplied at short intervals to grow.
   Quality nutrition is indispensable to gain Muscle. If you have a negative Calorie deficit then you are wasting your time in the gym. Its absolutely crucial that you take eating seriously if you really want to build muscle.
   
   
2. To Build Muscle you must eat, eat and then eat some more.
   The number 1 reason people call themselves Hard gainers is that they simply do not eat enough. After an intense workout the body craves high quality nutrients to repair itself and get ready for next workout. This training and eating cycle will force your body to add muscle to deal with the upcoming intense training session.
   
   I myself have been guilty of under eating. Follow this advice and it will save you a lot of frustration and time waste in the gym. A High Protein Muscle Building Diet should be the cornerstone of your Muscle Gain Diet to Gain Weight Faster.
   
   
3. Eat 5-6 meals everyday.
   More than 3 hours without food leads your body no option but to tear itself and use that energy for fuel. This is called Catabolism. Its the enemy to Muscle Building { Anabolism }.
   
   Remember we talked about the Catabolic Effects of Cortisol in Weight Training Section. You have to get rid of the conventional practice of eating 3 large meals. Keep your Body in a state of positive nitrogen balance and it will grow beyond belief. Just try it.
   
   
4. Maximize the Muscle Building Process
   There are 3 important meals which will maximize your Muscle building process. They are the Breakfast, Post workout meal and Bedtime Meal. We will discuss in detail how to plan these below.
   
   
5. Never exercise on empty stomach. Energy demands are highest during your workouts and you would not expect to win your F1 [your workout] race with no fuel. I will later cover Workout Nutrition on maximizing workout performance. Do check back the Blog.

Calculating Optimum Calories to Gain Muscle Mass. 

Remember your aim is to eat more than you spend. As a general rule of thumb in order to build Muscle eat 18-20 calories per pound bodyweight. For example a Bodybuilder with 150 lb body weight should consume 2700-300 calories per day. Calculate your Calorie requirement using this formula and come back.

Back already? Great. Lets go into details now.

How to Calculate Optimum Macronutrient Ratios

Now its time to divide your calories into Carbohydrates, proteins and fats { essential fats only }

I have found that the formula 50-30-20 works best to Build muscle. It means 50% calories from Carbohydrates, 30% Proteins and 20& essential fats.

All Nutrients are not created equal

There is a difference in the amount of calories per gram a particular provides.

Carbohydrates 1g = 4 calories; Proteins 1g = 4 calories ; Fats 1g = 9 calories

Proteins

• Proteins are the Building Blocks of Muscle. Bodybuilders swear by what Optimum Protein has done to Build their bodies. Its the most vital element in the entire process of Muscle Building.
  
  
• So using the example above a 150lb Bodybuilder would consume 150 (bodyweight) x 20 (calories) = 3000
  3000 x 0.3 (percentage of protein) = 900
  900 / 4 (calories per gram of protein) = 225 grams of protein.

So this Bodybuilder would require 210-225 g proteins per day divided over 6 equally spaced meals for optimum Muscle Building.

Carbohydrates.

• Supply inadequate carbohydrates and your Muscle will be used instead to provide energy. Enough Carbohydrates ensures that Proteins are used to Build Muscle alone. Also after an intense workout the Glycogen { carb } stored in muscles is depleted. Providing the body with high calorie simple sugars at this point will help rapid Muscle recovery.
  
  
• So using the example above a 150lb Bodybuilder would consume 150 (bodyweight) x 20 (calories) = 3000
  3000 x 0.5 (percentage of Carbohydrates) = 1500
  1500 / 4 (calories per gram of Carbohydrates) = 375 grams of Carbohydrates.

So this Bodybuilder would require 350-375 g carbohydrates per day divided over 6 equally spaced meals for optimum Muscle Building.

Fats.

• If you want to gain Muscle Eat fat. Bodybuilders are guilty of eating not enough fats and complaining of suboptimal results. Remember Fats are crucial to gain weight.
  
  
• When I say fats I only mean Essential fats required to produce testosterone, Growth hormone help in creating a positive nitrogen balance so critical to build muscle.
  
  
• So using the example above a 150lb Bodybuilder would consume 150 (bodyweight) x 20 (calories) = 3000
  3000 x 0.2 (percentage of fats) = 600
  600 / 9 (calories per gram of fats) = 66.7

So this Bodybuilder would require 60-67 g essential fats per day divided over 6 equally spaced meals for optimum Muscle Building.

Many people ask me what about the fats Mateen which are a part of other meals. My answer- Forget them. Remember your aim is to eat as fat free a food as possible. So do not worry about those saturated fats as long as you eat fat free{ nearly }.

Unsaturated fats like those found in olive oil, avocados and nuts although contains same number of calories as saturated fats but these calories are excellent for your health and heart.

Calculating Calories, Proteins, Carbohydrates and Fats per meal.

Now it gets interesting. I asked you do divide the total calories by 7 for 6 meals for a reason. You are going to eat 5 meals in a day with approx. 50g carbs, 32g proteins and 11g fats and your Post workout meal will be 2 meals combined. So our 150 lb bodybuilder will eat 100g carbs and 65g proteins as his Post workout meal.

Post-workout nutrition is the most important meal of the day for you. The body is actively frantically looking for calories at this time to start the recovery process and you give it just that. On days when you do not workout eat the Meal 1, your breakfast as the post workout meal. You will be amazed at the results.

Muscle diet plan for men and women - I suggest that Women should train like men but eat less to build muscle. It best to have half the serving size and calories I suggest for men here.

Water- The Crucial Element for Survival and Build Muscle

So you have covered all the bases ha? No. Far from it. There are 2 more important elements to cover.

1. Water 2. Multivitamins

Water is always the forgotten element. If you cannot drink enough body then your dream body will be just a dream Ignore this advice and see for yourself. Recommended intake 0.5 X Bodyweight. As in our example 150X 0.5 = 75 ounces of water daily.

Tip-- Drink every 2 hours not sip.

Multivitamins will help take metabolism to a whole new level. Add a quality Multivitamin to your post-workout nutrition from today.

So there you have it. In the Muscle Building Foods Section we will discuss the best Carbohydrates, Protein and Fat foods which will soon be a part of your diet.
