Train Hard and Count your calories

    Has it been a while since you have made a real difference in your physique? Are you twelve weeks out and prepared to give up some of that muscle that you created all winter? Want to know the about the ultimate growth supplement?

Food and calories, there is it, the answer plain simple and to the point. Ok a little basic for some but think about it, how often do you go to the gym day in and out and watch people who never seem to change regardless of their efforts in the gym. The problem lies within the diet or lack of. Diet doesn't always mean trying to lose body fat, we need to think of diet as the vehicle to accomplish the goals. After all aren't you there to make a difference in your physique. You can't "get" where you want to go unless you know where you are!

You diet for growth, fat loss, and just general health and well being. A diet doesn't mean starvation, limited foods and choices, endless weight gainer shakes, a diet just means that you have a well designed plan to accomplish the goals for your physique. It is a plan to get you the results the more energy you put into your "diet" the faster the results will happen for you. I have had some of my biggest muscle growth while dieting for fat loss. Some where someone has convinced you that you can't grow in a lean body. It is not the lean body that doesn't allow the growth, it is lack of calories in the right percentages that prevent it.

A "diet" ( plan) is a basic foundation for the time frame or goal you are currently working on. Once you have the basic plan done, you can and always will just make simple modifications depending on your next goal.

What is a calorie? Is it just simply a unit of energy, that is it! Something we all wished we had more of energy. We are able to pick and choose our energy units from protein, carbohydrates and fat. Each of course having it owns sub macro. I am not going to get into that, I just want you to have a easy to understand plan to grow muscle in the fastest simplest method. I know many of you are can tell me to the number how many calories you think you are eating, however I go back to my original question, is your physique changing the way you want it to in the time frame you set your goal on? I find that many athletes are actually eating less food than they really think they are. Food must come from actually "hardcore" calories of proteins and carbs and fat properly balanced for your respective sport.

It is really a simple matter of determining how many calories you are eating and in what percentages are you taking in the energy units (calories).

If you are eating for growth obviously the more growth units you need, protein. Endurance the more energy units you need, carbs. And of course the dreaded fat units remember fat is not the enemy when factored into a well-designed plan, it is just another source of energy for our bodies to use.

The process:

Determine your current caloric intake, on the three energy units, protein, carbs and fats.
Calculate the percentage of each unit on the total.

Example: 2500 calorie diet with 375 grams of protein equals 60% of the diet coming from protein.

It looks like this: 375 x 4 = 1500, grams converted to calories then divided the calories by the total, 60%. Do this for carbs and fats as well against the total calories.

Once understand how you are taking in your energy or growth units it is very easy to map out a plan of attack for your goals and make adjustments as needed.

It is not that difficult it only takes a calculator and knowing what you are currently eating that is not getting you where you want to be and designing a new plan (diet) from there adjusting the percentage of energy and growth units for your specific sport and goals. You plan your workouts, count your reps and poundage. On any given second can tell someone what your one rep bench max is, add the missing link to your success, count your calories and know your percentages of fuel that you use and require for your body not anyone else's body.
