Shared Nutrition Foundations
- Fat loss requires a calorie deficit while muscle gain requires a surplus of calories.
- Both goals, however, require eating clean, high protein meals to be successful.
Avoid Processed Foods
- Avoid heavily processed foods because they cause overeating and are low in quality protein.
- Processed foods can cause digestive distress which hinders muscle gain and fat loss progress.
Protein's Dual Role
- Optimal protein intake for muscle gain is about 1 gram per pound of body weight.
- High protein diets preserve muscle during fat loss and support muscle gain even in calorie deficits.
