What Is A Perfect Human Diet For Losing Fat And Building Muscle?

[Nomad93]

Curious what the prefect diet is for gaining muscle and losing fat. Obviously protein, fats and vitamins are essential I just don't know which are better than others. Comment please

My boyfriends sister studies sports medicine and she was telling us how a very high protein diet ends up doing absolutely nothing. By high protein I mean you're having multiple protein shakes, bars and whatever protein orientated things while eating a lot of chicken. The ideal diet if you speak to someone who is a licensed dietician is going to consist of fruits vegetables whole grains with a side of meat. im probably going to get attacked by a muscle head on here im just sharing what I was informed of.

As a woman I eat soy beans because they are dirty cheap and very high protein but men can grow boobs when they eat soy beans. Maybe chick peas?

[Whitneymariexo]

Soy beans are bad for women! Be careful

You need high protein food. The truth is that food alone has nothing to do with what your goal is. You need to lift weights and reach high enough rep ranges to get the 'cardio' effect and the weight must be heavy enough to break down and build muscle.

Takes some playing around with and is no easy task my man.

@theperfectdater Thanks for the input. Nothing easy is worth doing, oh wait maybe easy girls get some experience in there lol

Long-term and short-term diets are each to their own.

Over several years, you will develop fibrous muscular tissue and naturally have a more efficient metabolism.

Working out is a lifestyle. If you have specific goals for specific time-frames, you'll need to elaborate what you want to do.

@LoveYourTime Lose an estimated 2 pounds of belly fat, get abs, get more defined I want to be chiseled not big. Think athlete not bodybuilder

Belly fat is hard to target, not much muscle initially to work with In that area. As your body fat% gets lower, it becomes harder and harder to continue dropping the percentile. Athletes usually implement strength training, staying light, but able to carry 2x their own weight. Results you're looking for will take about a year or two (realistically, without butchering your health, and not having too large of a gradient on either end over the months).

@LoveYourTime I figure I am around 18-20% body fat like to be at 12% or less. I weight 185 pounds I can lift heavy but I have suffered one hernia and one other hernia scare so I play it safe mostly doing bodyweight stuff

High protein and healthy fats with low carbs.

Take your weight in kg. I weight 107kg, so I need at least 107g of protein a day to promote muscle growth after workouts.

don't take more than 19g of saturated fats in a day.
Don't take more than 40g of healthy fats a day.
Avoid trans fats at all cost.
don't take more than 200g of carbs a day.

Start out with full body workouts and do cardio rest days. If you decide to do split workouts, make sure to incorporate light cardio on rest days.

eat tons of food and take steroids. no other way to do both simultaneously. Even body builders cycle between bulking and cutting phases.
