The Straightforward Bodybuilding Diet Guide to Build Muscle, Build Strength and Put On Mass Fast As Hell
Introduction
Nutrition can be a funny thing when it comes to bodybuilding. One person follows a diet, does it for 3 months, and builds more muscle and strength than hes ever done for the past 2-3 years of training. Another person follows the same diet, does it for 3 months, and he builds no muscle or strength whatsoever. So what makes the diet effective for one person and not the other? Is it the diet itself or the person whos using it?
In this book, Im going to give you the diet tips that most professional bodybuilders use these days to build muscle, strength and mass. In saying that, you may not receive the exact results as the professional bodybuilders (theyve got access to resources that most people dont have). But I can guarantee that youre going to build some serious muscle mass and strength from following these diet tips.
You dont have control over your genetics . Even though they play a huge part in bodybuilding, its not going to do you any good stressing about something that you cant even change. What you do have control over is your training and nutrition. Let me take of the nutrition part.
Before I get into this with you, I just want to let you know that Im not a professional bodybuilder. If youre looking for direct advice from them, then go watch their videos; theres plenty of them online (although theyre going to say the same thing as this book, because my training methods/diets come directly from them.) If youre looking for a certified personal trainer with a PHD in Sports physiology and blah blah blah, then youre in the wrong place as well. However, if youre looking for some knowledge from someone whos had years of experience in the health/fitness industry and with building some muscle mass; if youre looking for the diet thats going to help you build muscle, mass and strength like youve never had before; I think I can help you with that.

The Only Formula You Need To Know To Build Lean Muscle Mass
The Magic Formula . You probably already know it by now, but Im going to say it again because its really important. Now obviously other factors come into play when it comes to weight management (e.g. HGH, Insulin, Stress), however in my experience this is the only thing you need to know if youre looking to build muscle.
Calories In Vs Calories Out
The amount of calories that you take in during a day versus the amount of calories that you expend for the day. If you consume more calories than you expend, then youre going to gain weight (whether thats fat or muscle is another question, well talk about that in-depth later). If you expend more calories than you consume, then youre going to lose weight. Simple as that. So if youre looking to build some muscle mass, youre going to want to be gaining weight. This is referred to as the process of bulking. If youre trying to burn fat while retaining muscle mass, this is called cutting. Bodybuilding is done with these 2 processes in mind.
A Calorie is a unit of energy. Most foods/drinks contain calories, however some do not (e.g. Tea, Black Coffee, Calorie-Free Sodas). Everybody has a caloric maintenance level, although mine will probably be different from yours. Your caloric maintenance level is the amount of calories that you need to eat every day to maintain your weight. Eating below this number and you will lose weight. Eat above this number and you will gain weight. There are a number of things that determine your caloric maintenance level, and if youre wanting to know yours then there are a number of handy tools online that you can use.
In this book Im not going to give you the counting calories method. That method is a 100% sure-fire no room for error way to control your weight, and if you want to do that then be my guest. For me, its way too much work to be weighing everything and counting calories and all that jazz. If youre wanting to build a nice body, you dont have to count calories. And Im going to let you in on the secret method that I use to build some lean muscle mass. Its much easier than counting calories and it works for me, so I suggest you give it a shot.
How To Build Lean Muscle Mass Without Counting Calories
The trick that I use to build lean muscle mass without counting calories is to listen to your body. Its very simple (much simpler than counting calories), and you can still build an amazing body using it and control your weight effectively. To do this method, youre going to have to start keeping a food journal. Every meal you have throughout the day, write it down in the food journal along with the portion size.
This is a photo of one of my food logs from the past week. During the morning, I had a coffee and green tea. After my workout, I had my post workout shake with PB (peanut butter), protein powder and a banana. Along with that, I had a lamb sandwich which had in it lamb, cottage cheese and avocado. Then for dinner, I had lamb and cabbage topped with sour cream, cheese and tomato sauce. Later on that night I had 2 wheat crackers with vegemite and cream cheese. I also no longer record the water I drink because I know its going to be around 6Litres or more.
As you can see, for the proper, sit-down type of meals; I dont bother with writing down the portions. This is because I know that on that night, I probably had a portion of lamb and a portion of cabbage. The only serving amount that I recorded was the wheat crackers. This is because I dont really control the little stuff as much as I control my sit-down type of meals.
