What to Eat Before a Workout
How Much Protein You Should Be Eating
What to eat before a workout? What to drink during a workout? How much protein should you be eating in order to grow muscle mass and burn fat efficiently? These are all good questions, but they’re just the beginning. The Fun Guys Canada will answer those questions as well as provide you with guidelines for how much protein is appropriate for your fitness goals and level of activity.
The first thing you should know is that we need protein every day.
Protein provides the body with essential amino acids, which are used to build and repair muscle tissue as well as produce enzymes, hormones, and various substances in the blood involved in transporting nutrients throughout the body.
In order for your muscles to grow bigger and stronger you have to provide them with a stimulus of weight training combined with adequate rest so they can recover from workout sessions. In addition to this exercise stimulus , it’s also important that you give your muscles enough fuel during workouts by eating foods high in carbohydrates before a workout . This will ensure sufficient energy levels needed for optimal performance during resistance training. When it comes to how much protein you should be consuming each day – there is no answer that applies to everyone. How much protein you need depends on a few factors: your age, weight and level of physical activity .
For example, let’s say that we have two different men who want to build muscle mass in order to look good naked for their summer holiday by the sea. The first man is 20 years old weighs 160 pounds (~72kg) and he has never previously engaged in resistance training or any other form of exercise routine. He wants to start working out properly with weights three times per week following an upper/lower split workout routine (which means he’ll do bench press one day, squats another etc.). Because this guy hasn’t done any kind of regular workout before it would be wise not only increase his caloric intake but also increase the amount of protein in his diet to both build muscle mass and enhance recovery from resistance training. In this example, we’ll assume that he eats around 2500 calories per day divided between six meals so 500kcal/meal on average with 40% carbs (~200g), 30% fat (~50g) and 30% protein (~100g).
