Nutrition and Fitness FAQ
«

How much protein do I need to build muscle?
The exact number is not agreed upon, but somewhere between 0.4 to 1 g per lb of bodyweight. More on it on
this page
and in
this video
.
What actually is protein?
Protein is involved in a lot of functions in your body, not only in building muscle. Have a look at
this video
.
Do you have a list of how much protein is in foods?
Yes, we do,
right here
.
Protein shakes are so expensive. Is there an alternative?
Yes: make your own!
This video
has the recipe.
What should I eat and drink before and after working out, anyway?
Have a look at
this article
.
But what are carbohydrates?
Simply said they are sugar and are the number one thing your body uses when energy demand is high (fast running, weightlifting etc.).
This video
puts some more light on it.
And fat?
Fat is used when energy demand is low. Your body also builds fat to store energy when more is available than it needs. Have a look at the
Losing Weight FAQ
for more information on it.
Can I drink alcohol when I want muscles?
It depends on how much.
This video
explains it.
I heard you need to eat lots and lots to get muscles. Is it true?
No. Please read
this
and
this
.
Should I use multivitamins?
You don't need them when you have a balanced diet that includes vegetables and fruits. Most likely vitamins from pills also won't work as well as when they are from the food they naturally occur in, as explained
here
and
here
.
