Nutrition Basics for Muscle Growth
Published: February 20, 2025
Building muscle isn’t just about lifting weights—it’s about fueling your body right. Here’s a quick guide to get you started:
- Protein: Aim for 1.6-2.2g per kg of body weight daily. Sources include chicken, eggs, tofu, and whey protein.
- Carbohydrates: Fuel your workouts with complex carbs like oats, brown rice, or sweet potatoes for sustained energy.
- Fats: Include healthy fats like avocado, nuts, and olive oil to support overall energy and hormone production.
- Timing: Eat a protein-rich meal within 2 hours post-workout to aid muscle repair.
- Hydration: Drink at least 2-3 liters of water daily to optimize performance and recovery.
