The Simple Guide to Nutrition for Building Muscle

The Simple Guide to Nutrition for Building Muscle

Nutrition is 70% of the battle. If you don’t eat enough of the right things, your hard work at the gym won’t deliver the results it deserves.

The Three Pillars of Nutrition

1. Protein Is Queen

Protein provides the building blocks (amino acids) for muscle repair. Aim for 1.6g to 2.2g of protein per kilogram of body weight.

2. Don’t Fear Carbohydrates

Carbohydrates are your body’s primary energy source. They fuel your intense workouts and help with recovery.

3. Healthy Fats for Hormones

Fats are essential for hormone production, including testosterone. Don’t omit them — focus on avocados, nuts, and olive oil.
