Muscle Growth Is a Slow Process and You're Making It Slower (Nutrition Edition) | Ep 783

Welcome to the Mind Muscle Connection Podcast! 

Muscle growth is already a slow process, and a lot of what we do with our nutrition slows it down even more. In this episode, I break down the most common nutrition mistakes I see holding people back from building muscle, including eating too few calories, spending too much of the year dieting, and being inconsistent with your intake. 

I also cover how much protein you actually need and how to spread it out, how to set up your nutrition around training, why trying to stay too lean or being afraid of the scale can stall progress, and why carbs matter more than most people think. 

If your training is dialed in but you're not seeing the progress you want, this episode is for you. 

Let's talk about:

• Why Training Is the Primary Driver of Muscle Growth
• Eating Too Few Calories and Dieting Too Long
• Being Inconsistent With Your Calorie and Macro Intake
• Why Calorie Distribution Throughout the Day Matters
• Not Eating Enough Protein
• Why More Protein Isn't Always Better
• Poor Protein Distribution
• How Many Meals Per Day?
• Poor Pre- and Post-Workout Nutrition
• Trying to Stay Too Lean Year-Round
• Being Afraid to See the Scale Go Up
• Why Scale Weight Gain Isn't Automatically Body Fat
• Not Eating Enough Carbs to Support Your Training
