Nutrition - Eating Correctly

Ah, that mass and power! It has always been my dream to show off my abs and muscles, but I also know it takes a lotta hard work. And I believe my grandmother when she says nutrition is the key. I only have to remember my grandad to believe it. Protein, protein, protein – add it in the right proportion – if you are about 170 pounds weight, you should eat 170 grams of protein each day. Its okay to use nutritional supplements - with the right mix of nutrients and the right program, you can go in for a sport supplement that can improve your performance. And remember to take the right quantity at the suggested time – from a well-known manufacturer with a good rep. Five or six small meals per day is a good idea instead of concentrating it all into 3 per day. Bring on the carbs – at the rate of 3-4 grams per pound of bodyweight every day. Add good fats to your diet. Keep out empty calories that are no good for the system or for the muscles. Don’t starve, drink lots of water, and don’t have a meal within two hours of bedtime – happy muscle building!
