Yes, you’ve heard it a million times, but it’s true: you are what you eat! You will only get back from your body what you put in to your body. If you aren’t seeing the results you’d expect to see from your workouts it might be time to rethink your diet. Common sense dictates your diet needs to have enough calories, protein, and water to fuel all the metabolic processes required to keep you alive.

Building muscle is above and beyond simply keeping you alive. If your body doesn’t have the requirements needed to maintain basic functions there will not be anything left to build new muscle mass, in fact, if you restrict nutrients too much you will cause a depletion of muscle mass rather than build new muscle. If you’re looking to build muscle you need to be sure you have adequate overall calorie consumption and enough total protein in your diet. For example, the average 150 pound man who exercises five days/week should be eating at least 2600 calories and and 1 gram of protein for every pound of body weight as recommended for weight lifters by the International Society of Sport Nutrition.
