Goal: Lean Muscle Gain

 

Example:

Calories	2200 per day (Depending on your activity level)
Protein	200 grams (Assists in building muscle)
Carbs	150 grams (Gives us energy)
Fats	40 grams (Helps us absorb vitamins & nutrients)

 

But you may say "stop right there, what do you mean by that?" Let me explain.

 

As an example let's work on 2200 calories per day for the activity level which you have identified in the USN Body & Lifestyle Challenge passport. Remember now, the calories you are putting into your body need to be the correct type of calories coming from the correct macronutrients.

 

From the above example and keeping in mind that we are doing the lean muscle gain programme the ratio in percentage will look like this:

 

Calories	2200 per day (Depending on your activity level)
Protein	200 grams 51.28%
Carbs	150 grams 38.26%
Fats	40 grams 10.25%

 

Can you see what the result will be from the above? (Lean muscle gain)

 

This is split over a selected amount of meals per day, and is vitally important as it increases your resting metabolic rate thereby making your body work for you throughout the day.

 

I would like you now to refer back to the definition of di-et and read it again. It makes sense now doesn't it?
