It doesn’t matter how hard you try in your training, your results will suck unless you are on the right weight training diet.
There is no need for weight training diet to be complicated at all. Nor does it need to contain a lot of expensive supplements and vitamins.
Do you want to know what the absolute key is for your diet?
Getting enough calories.
Protein is thought to be the most important thing when it comes to building muscle, and it is a very important nutrient which you need plenty of. But unless you eat enough overall calories, it doesn’t matter how much protein you eat because you will still not put on any muscle mass.
A good diet should contain a lot of protein, a lots of complex carbohydrates, a reasonable amount of good fats. These nutrients are what make up your overall calories so the best approach to take is to split these three nutrients up into a ratio such as 50% protein 35% carbohydrates and 15% fats.
It is important that you eat every few hours to maintain a positive nitrogen balance which is the secret to muscle growth. You should never miss out breakfast or your after workout meal as these are the most important meals in your day.
So far is what type of foods you eat I recommend you stick with unprocessed foods such as eggs, a lot of meat, fish, rice, potatoes, oats and vegetables.
