Gain Muscle Without Getting Fat

Gain Muscle Without Getting Fat

by Greg Correll

Two of the most common goals in fitness is to either -

1) Putting on more muscle

2) Lose fats

In any case, you can't accomplish both the fitness goal together, because each of these goals will require you to do the exact opposite of each. Trying to accomplish both together will leave you hanging in the middle, and back to where you started.

If you're worry of gaining too much excess weight in the process of getting muscle weight, you're most likely right. This is because we have to take in more on our daily calories requirement than we normally do, this is a must for you to build muscles.

Just before you make up your mind to binge eat all day long, understand this. Your body can only absorb the nutrients goodness so much, up to a point where your body can no longer assimilate the food intake, it will be turned into stored fats for further use. Therefore nobody gets ripped by eating too much, the key is simply to eat enough for muscle growth.

Generally, having extra 3-500 of calories would be enough to do the trick. This way you'll get lean tissues instead of fats, food intake coupled with proper exercises would be the key to get you that perfect body sooner.

Bear in mind, you probably won't gain as much pounds as you like a week. Normal healthy rate is to gain about half to a pound a week. That is possible if you have the correct set of training. Although it's slow, but at least you get to keep track on your own body fat level and able to tweak when you see fit. If you start gaining fats, lower your intake slightly.

So, best way to gain muscle is not as simple as turning yourself into a eating machine, a slower approach and a better understanding of how your calorie intake and your metabolism works is the better way to go. You wouldnt want the time spend bulking turned into a fat burning process, and further pushes you away from your goal now, would you?
