I’ve been busy today adding some really useful content to my body building blog about body building nutrition.

I’d been having a week off from weight training, and in fact decent nutrition, taking the time to let my body re-cuperate after having gone fourteen straight weeks training and eating right.

During this time off, I’ve been reading a really good book about nutrition by Anita Bean, called Sports Nutrition. From reading this book, I realised some of my nutrition habits were slightly outdated, and so I’ve written up my findings in these two new posts.

The first post is all about your resting metabolic rate, which is vital to know if you are going to have any success in either weight loss or weight gain. If you have ever wondered - what is my resting metabolic rate - read the article to find out.

The second post is all about correct nutrition for gaining muscle, something that I am keen to understand as best as I can, so that my weight training yields good results. In my mind there’s nothing worse than working hard at your fitness or physique and only seeing marginal results, you have to have the patience of a saint to continue only seeing slow results.

For my money, you’re far better off maximising your results by ensuring you give yourself the best possible platform from which to work from, and in body building this means training hard and eating right. If you want to gain muscle fast by eating right, then this article will provide you with lots of useful information about how to calculate the amount of protein and carbohydrates are needed to stimulate fast muscle growth.
