Body Will Tell You "I NEED FOOD"

body is telling you it needs food, so give it what it want. You may find that every 3 hours is too much. If so wait until you start to feel hungry before having a meal. You will soon find a routine that works for you.

 

5. Eat the Foods Your Body Enjoys

If you struggle to break down dairy products, try to cut down on these and get your protein and carbs from another source.

 

Everyone’s body is different so listen to what yours is telling you. It makes no sense to continue eating foods that your body can’t tolerate or digest.

 

On the other hand if you find source of protein that works very well for you, try to incorporate is into your diet more so you can get the most benefits.

 

I can’t tell you what will and what won’t work for you as everyone is different. You need to listen to your body and develop your on Muscle Building Foods for your diet.

 

6. Know Your Carbohydrates

One of the biggest challenges facing anyone that wants to build muscle is eating the correct types of carbs at the right time. Your aim should be to get at least 2 grammes of carbohydrates for every pound of lean body mass.

 

So if you are 200 pounds with a 10% body fat, you have 180 pounds of lean weight. Therefore you need at least 360 grammes of carbohydrate per day.

 

Carbs are what you should be changing if you aren’t progressing in the way you want. So if you aren’t gaining muscle and weight as fast as you think you should then increase your intake of carbs. Or if your gaining weight, but it appears to be fat, cut back on the carbs.

 

All carbs are not the same and you need to focus on the quality carbs that have a slow release factor, as these are less likely to be stored as fat.

 

These can be found in foods such as whole-grain bread, oatmeal and sweet potatoes. But if you are really skinny, then you can eat more fast releasing carbs such as potatoes, bananas, cereals, pasta and white rice.

 

When you eat your carbs is also important, as your body needs them at specific times. These are:

 

1. Breakfast

2. Pre Workout

3. Post Workout

 

Around 75% of your carbs should be consumed during these 3 meals.
