Eating for muscle growth is all about fueling your body with the right nutrients. Here are some tips to help you maximize muscle gains when it comes to diet:

  1. Eat enough protein. Protein is the building block of muscle and should make up roughly 25-30% of your daily caloric intake in order to support healthy growth.
  2. Opt for complex carbohydrates over simple carbs like white bread and candy bars that contain processed sugars, as these can lead to weight gain if eaten too frequently or in large amounts rather than aiding in achieving a leaner physique.
  3. Lastly, don’t forget Vitamin D – this vitamin helps regulate calcium absorption, thus keeping bones strong, but it also plays an important role in muscular strength, so get outside daily (or take a supplement) to ensure adequate levels.
