Wow, look at you, thinking about going to the gym. That’s practically a workout already.
Macronutrient Balance
Protein: muscle repair and growth (chicken, eggs, whey, legumes)
Carbohydrates: energy source, glycogen replenishment (rice, oats, fruits)
Fats: hormone production, recovery (avocados, nuts, olive oil)
Ideal macro split depends on goals (bulking vs cutting)
Meal Timing
Pre-workout meals: carbs + protein (e.g. banana + whey)
Post-workout meals: fast-digesting protein + carbs (e.g. shake + white rice)
Meal frequency: 4–6 meals/day to support muscle growth & metabolism
Supplements in Bodybuilding
Whey Protein – fast absorption
Creatine Monohydrate – strength & muscle volume
BCAAs/EAA – muscle preservation (especially during cutting)
Beta-Alanine, Citrulline Malate – performance enhancers
Multivitamins, Omega-3 – general support
Bulking vs. Cutting Nutrition
Bulking (caloric surplus): more carbs, more total calories
Cutting (caloric deficit): higher protein, careful with carbs/fats
Recovery & Sleep
Protein synthesis happens during sleep
Nutrition affects recovery speed
Avoid under-eating during recovery days
Mindset & Consistency
Avoid crash diets or extreme bulks
Consistency > perfection
Food is fuel – eat with intention and purpose
