How Many calories To Build Muscle

How many calories do you need for gaining muscle? How much protein? How many calories are you eating?

I get these questions a lot, and citizen absolutely want to see my food while using Jay Ferruggia's mass workouts.

So here it is...my calories, protein, food plan, post-workout drinks, everything.

This was my best eating day, some days I slip and am probably closer to 4500 calories.

The bottom line is that you have to eat a lot of calories to build muscle. Most guys undereat and then complain about not being able to build muscle. They don't get stronger, they don't get bigger, but they just keep working out and spinning their wheels.

You can't be afraid of gaining 0.04% body fat. It's going to happen. However, you'll look so much good because you are going to gain pounds and pounds of muscle.

That's all inherent with a good workout program, one that has you training 3-4 days per week on whether a total body split or an upper-lower body split. If you train hard enough, you won't have adequate energy for that 6-day per week crap.

By the way, I'm not using any muscle building supplements. No protein shakes, no Nitric Oxide products, no creatine, no pro-hormones. Creatine works, but you don't need any of that other worthless junk.
