5 Reasons Your Muscles Are NOT Growing (and how to fix it)
So let’s look at our 3,260 calorie diet from above and break it up:
30% of 3,260 is 980 calories from protein.
Divide by 4, and that’s 244g protein per day
50% of 3,260 is 1630 calories from carbs.
Divide by 4, and that’s 408g carbs per day
20% of 3,260 is 650 calories from fat.
Divide by 9, and that’s 72g fat per day
Now all you need to do is spread those amounts over 6-7 meals per day. For more detailed information on building a diet see our how to create a bodybuilding diet article.Training days arranged to allow for adequate rest
