What is important to understand that there are 2 sides to the nutrition of making those big bulgy muscles.
One the one side there is fueling growth - this is all about protein.
Then there is the prevention of loss during workouts, walking around, just being alive - this is all about carbs.
Most people in an average diet get more than enough protein to fuel muscle growth.
It is in the carbs where many are lacking. Without enough carbs the body uses up the a number of amino's in the body's pool and turns them into energy - this is real inefficient so when this is done starts to burn up the muscles for energy.
This can be prevented by having plenty of carbs - this is called protein saving.
More often than not it is a lack of carbs holding people back - they are making gains, but then losing them at the next workout.
Hope everyone has a sensible day
