Great Nutritional Assistance for Excellent Bodybuilding Results

By Neal Gold


"Put down the tablets", that is the first thing any serious fitness trainer will say today. The bodybuilding supplement sector is a multi-million dollar market. It generates substantial revenues on the sales of its items and thus could manage to invest millions of dollars in advertising. Don't be fooled into thinking that a supplement can do wonders for you. The supplements are usually substances which you find in food and which have actually been dehydrated and packaged by these companies. If you look at the cost per kilo of this "food" you will find it's much more affordable to simply eat fresh and organic foods. There are also medicines offered that guarantee to make your muscles grow at unbelievable rates but these go against the approach of natural bodybuilding. In the 80's a great deal of people suffered serious side-effects from doin this and it's not advised.

What you should be doing is eating adequately and drinking enough water. Muscle tissue is comprised of 70 % water. A shortage in water can harm the muscle tissue. Water is part of numerous biological processes, including muscle building and fat burning, and so it is really necessary to drink a minimum of 2L of water a day, particularly after a training session.

You need to be eating 5-6 full bodybuilding meals a day. Out of these meals, one needs to be had prior to going to sleep or during the night. Additionally you should eat a full course meal roughly 90 mins prior to going into training and consuming a protein shake within 60 minute after training.

You should determine exactly what your RDCA (required daily calorie allowance) is. This could be done through the aid of a personal fitness instructor or by going on the web and finding out exactly what the calorie usage is for all the exercise you do throughout a typical 24 hour period. Calorie usage is greater for tall individuals with a heavy physique so ensure to take this into account. Age and type of metabolism are also factors which must be taken into account. As soon as you have actually figured out the number of hours you spend sleeping, sitting, walking and training you will know the number of calories you should consume daily. Add 500 calories to these to allow for maximum muscle development.

If you usually tend to be skinny you ought to have a higher percentage of fat and less protein and of you have a tendency to put on fat, you should consume less fat and more protein. The portions for skinny people generally are: 25 % protein, 50 % carbohydrates and 25 % fat. The percentages for overweight individuals generally are: 35 % protein, 45 % carbs and 20 % fat.

The other half takes place at the dining table if half of the muscle building activity takes place in the fitness center. Follow our eating advice and you will see the outcome.
