Day 4 –
Eating for ultimate
mass
It’s useless to spend
hours in the gym blasting the muscles if you
don’t provide the raw nutrients necessary
for growth and repair. If you want to be big
you must eat big.
The big three – Protein
– Carbohydrate, and Fat
The body’s primary
building material is protein. Therefore it
should be the most important part of each
meal. You want to consume at least 1 gram
per pound of bodyweight. If you weigh 200
pounds you should be taking in 200 grams of
protein. As long as you are getting adequate
protein you can call it a meal. No protein
no meal. Make sense?
Next are carbohydrates.
You want to keep them moderately high so you
have sufficient energy to use in your
workouts. Carbs come in two forms – simple
and complex. Simple carbs are more commonly
called sugar and get absorbed quickly. They
also tend to get stored as fat if they are
not immediately used. Complex carbs can also
be stored as fat when eaten in excess, but
there is less chance of this happening given
their slower absorption rates.
Finally we have fat –
probably the most hated word in
bodybuilding. Like carbs there are “good”
and “bad” fats. The good fats are the
unsaturates and are used by the body for
such things as hormone production, enzyme
production, and for cardiovascular health.
Bad fats include saturated fat and trans
fats. These are the real artery pluggers in
the nutrition world and should be avoided at
all costs.
Water water
everywhere
You should always be
sipping water. Why? Because when you take a
close look you’ll see that muscles cells are
about 70 % water. You’ll lose water just by
sitting there, but add on regular exercise
and it’s very easy to become dehydrated.
You’ll also probably be supplementing with
creatine and protein; both of which need
extra water for absorption and utilization.
Try to drink at least one gallon of water
throughout the day
Eat your
meat
Pink Floyd said it
best, “how can you get any pudding if you
don’t eat your meat!” While you should
probably limit your pudding to once or twice
a week, red meat is a must if you’re trying
to pack on muscle mass. Fish is good,
chicken is better, but for maximum gains in
strength and size eat a
cow!
Timing
Most of the biggest
land animals are grazers, that is they are
always eating. Try to put some high quality
nutrients in your body every two to three
hours. Your pre-workout meal should be eaten
about one hour before your workout. Your
post workout meal is immediately afterward.
As soon as you finish your last set, start
ingesting those muscle-building,
muscle-recharging nutrients
Supplements
Now that you know how
to eat and train, there’s one more piece to
the puzzle – supplementation. To fully
maximize your bodybuilding potential you
