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
