You can’t build muscle with an empty stomach
by Jon Cardozo
It always amazes me how some people think they can get through a difficult workout without the proper fuel. For example, I once talked to a guy in gym that had gone most of the day without eating so much as snack.
Despite starting the day off with a good breakfast, he continued throughout most of the day without eating anything more than a cookie and some juice. He tried to explain how busy he was and why he didn’t have enough time to eat properly. Still, he said he thought he was just fine and was about to begin the evening with some pretty heavy weight lifting exercises.
He kept insisting that he wasn’t hungry, but I was still suspicious about his workout routine.
It’s quite possible that he was telling the truth about not feeling hungry, but that doesn’t mean it was OK. In fact, what was probably going on was that his metabolism had slowed down significantly so he simply didn’t feel like eating before his workouts.
In order to build muscle, your body needs to have the basic ingredients in your diet. The basic formula is to eat more calories than your body is burning. In addition, you must eat large amounts of protein to build muscle, as well as adequate carbohydrates and healthy fats.
(If you don’t get enough carbohydrates, your body will use your muscle tissue as fuel.) Besides these points which you may already be familiar with, you need to have enough energy to allow for a solid muscle building workout.
If you consider why muscle grows in the first place, it’s pretty easy to understand. You have to push your muscle to new heights, and this will stimulate your muscle to grow.
Keep these principles in mind if you’re serious about building muscle over the long term. Otherwise, it can
be pretty difficult for you to make progress and you may not even know why.
