Thank you for the comments.
Typical healthy training diets are in the range of:
Protein-15-30%,
Carbohydrates-40-75%,
Fat-10-30%
…so mine is in the higher range for fat, lower for carbs
and slightly higher for protein. The appropriate nutrient profile
for each person to gain muscle or lose fat optimally has been
shown to differ, with some being very high carb and some very
low….as with protein and fat.
Carbohydrates are the premier energy for lifting... unless there
are lots of stimulants, then who knows! Eat too few carbs and
your body goes to its 2nd favorite source of energy during intense
training...amino acids...that would be from muscles or diet. Since
we mostly prefer our protein to build our muscles and our carbs
to be our energy…
Apparently the majority of people wanting to gain bulk/muscle
and training intensely fall into the 60% carb range.
Interestingly enough, I was a vegan and then a vegetarian for
many many years.
As for the fat sources, about 30% of mine comes from organic seeds
and nuts. Though I get my protein mostly from leaner protein sources
(whey, skinless chicken and turkey breast) there is still about
32% of my fat from meat with the rest coming from organic eggs
and whole milk.
Of course at the higher end of bodybuilding and fitness athlete,
training during cutting, the protein is retained and the carbs
and fat are lowered significantly.
Be careful with your protein…Too much protein can dehydrate,
slow protein absorption, and cause loss of calcium. You know best
how your body is responding/feeling!
On your diet are you seeing consistent gains where you want to
see them?
