Food – How to Use 3 Simple Steps to Create Massive Muscles

March 1, 2020 by Terry Clark Leave a Comment

How do you use protein to build massive muscles? Muscle gains are difficult to come by. It is easy to store and burn body fat than to build muscles. The average person can gain a pound to two pounds of muscle each month. Muscle gains are an anabolic process (eating food), and fat loss is a catabolic process (not consuming food).

If you want to build muscles with a low body fat percentage, work out. The body takes food and uses it to make muscles and fat. HGH (human growth hormone) tells your body when to use food to build muscle. Testosterone then takes amino acids from protein and converts them to muscle.

How to use protein to build massive muscles

The first step to using protein to build muscle is determining how much protein to eat for your body weight. There is a lot of conversation about what is the right amount of protein to consume. Protein is not like carbohydrates and fat. Protein is made of amino acids, and carbs and fat are made of carbon chains. Also, protein can put a lot of pressure on vital organs, like the kidneys and the digestive system.

Protein is also a building material where carbohydrates and fat are a source of energy. Finally, protein can be converted to energy, but it is an arduous and complicated process for the body. Match your protein grams to your body weight in pounds. If you weigh 200 pounds, then eat 200 grams of protein each day. The amount of protein you eat each day is just one factor that must be addressed before you create muscle gains.

How to use a calorie surplus to build massive muscles

The second step is to eat a calorie surplus. Calories are and will always be king for muscle gains or fat loss. Because muscle gains are anabolic, you must eat to build muscle. The only way to build muscle or store fat is to eat. Muscle and fat are siblings. When the body goes into an anabolic state, there is a ratio of muscle gained and fat stored.

The larger the surplus, the more fat stored. The smaller the surplus, the more muscle gained. It is best to have a 300 to 500 calorie surplus a day. It is better to go over than to go under on the calories. When you go above the calories, you can always clean it up during your cutting phase. If you go under, then that day is lost, and it will take longer to build muscle.

How to use macro composition to build massive muscles

The third step is to choose the correct macro composition for meals. Because muscle comes from protein, it makes sense to eat protein when trying to build muscle. Carbohydrates are the easiest to turn to fat, so it makes sense to eat less of them. That leaves fat in the middle.

Once you fill your diet with protein and you are looking to manage your carbohydrates, the only other option is fat. Fat is not a wrong choice or a second option. Hormones depend on healthy fats to build muscle. A good ratio is 40% protein, 40% fat, and 20% carbohydrate.

In conclusion, muscle gains are challenging, but not impossible.

To build muscle, eat your weight in protein, a surplus in calories, and the right macronutrient ratio. The key is to use a comprehensive process that involves all three approaches and not just focuses on one or two.

Protein and fat calories build muscle while restricting carbohydrate intake. Don’t forget carbohydrates lead to storing body fat. The right diet and a good workout program give you the ability to gain one to two pounds of muscle a month.
