Nutrition while gaining weight

 

To gain muscle mass, training alone is not enough. Training is like building a house in progress. Exercise is taps, workers. But our muscles are bricks and cement. So, if we do not deliver bricks and cement on time, then the construction will stop in place.

   So, let's begin.

To gain mass and muscles, you have to eat. Maybe more often and more than you are used to.

   There is an opinion that you need to eat about five times a day. Maybe it is so. But according to my own feelings, three times was enough for me. The main thing is that each reception consisted of a mandatory content of protein foods.

   As a rule, an athlete needs to eat from 1 to 3 grams of protein per kilogram of their own weight per day. At a time, the body usually absorbs up to 30 grams of protein. The rest, no way. Therefore, you have to eat five times.

   I like this meal plan:

   - for breakfast, eat an omelet with cheese and fruits, nuts;

  - for lunch, let it be rice or buckwheat with chicken and eat salad;

  - for dinner, stewed vegetables with fish.

To each his own taste. I traditionally love a cutlet with mashed potatoes. Or screw up pigeons. Dumplings!

   Before training, I like to eat a banana or an orange.

   Alcohol is strictly incompatible with training. I remember that in the evening I dabbled in wine, and the next day the usual weights were amazingly not given, I was tormented by shortness of breath. I even thought about pushing the barbell after yesterday. In general, it is absolutely incompatible.

   I'm not talking about smoking. Never smoked.
