Consume Calories to Increase Muscle Growth
How many calories should you consume each day? The basic idea when trying to figure out your daily caloric intake is to first determine your caloric maintenance level, that is, how many calories you require daily in order to simply maintain your weight. Second, increase your caloric maintenance level by 15-20%. This will create the necessary caloric surplus within your body to increase muscle growth.
Remember, not all calories are created equally, and in order to see increases in lean muscle mass you should consume the right types of calories. Including more fats, protein and carbohydrates will keep your daily diet on the right track.
