Question 1 of 8What’s your primary goal?

What’s your primary goal?

How do I gain more muscle?

To gain muscle, you need to work out and challenge your muscles to grow. When you use weights that are heavy enough or complete more reps than you usually do, you send a signal to your body to get stronger during recovery. You then need the right type of energy before, during and after training to make sure your muscles recover and grow stronger. Complex carbs fuel your workouts, protein makes your muscles grow and fat creates the hormonal environment needed to build muscle. Getting the right sort of energy in your muscle building diet is essential to get stronger. Why not try one of Lifesum’s diet meal plans to get you started? They’re full of tasty recipes and they will tell you what to eat, so yo won’t have to think about it.

Do I need an app to build muscle through my diet?

Building muscle is math. You need the right amount of protein to ensure your muscle grow stronger – but more protein than necessary can be harmful for your kidneys. You need enough carbs and fat to energize workouts and create the right hormonal environment for muscle gain – but more carbs or fat than necessary can make you put on unnecessary fat weight instead of muscle weight. Using a muscle building diet app is much more simple! You focus on your training, we tell you what to eat more or less of. Make it into a routine and those lean muscles will appear before you know it.

Our app tells you how to eat to build muscle

You need the right amount of carbs, protein, fat and total calories to gain muscle.
