How I Actually Eat to Build Muscle

When I first started lifting, I thought it was all about the gym. Turns out, what you eat matters just as much if you want to see real muscle gains. 🔸 Get your protein right. Aim for 1.2-1.7g per kg of body weight daily. That’s more than you think, but not an excuse to drown in chicken breast. Use the math: weight in pounds ÷ 2.2 = kg, then multiply by 1.2 and 1.7 for your range. 🔸 Don’t skip meals. Your body needs fuel to grow. If you’re busy, pack meals or shakes so you’re not tempted by junk. 🔸 Keep it balanced. Protein’s key, but don’t forget veggies and complex carbs. Think broccoli, spinach, and oats. Skip the processed stuff and sugary snacks—they’ll just slow you down. 🔸 Hydrate like it’s your job. Muscles need water to recover and grow. It’s not about eating perfect 24/7. Plan a cheat meal, enjoy it, then get back on track. Consistency beats perfection every time. #musclebuilding #nutritiontips #fitfood #Health #Fitness
