#2 Know your MACROS!

There are 3 Macro Nutrients which aid in Muscle Growth and Mass:

1) Protein

2) Carbohydrates (Carbs)

3) Fats

- Proteins are the muscle building blocks which helps in building your muscle after a massive workout session. If there are no proteins in your diet the muscle will not be able to recover and grow.

- Carbohydrates or Carbs provides you energy, it helps you in providing those extra energy when you are lifting heavy. Carbs after a workout session helps in increasing glycogen level in your body which helps in increasing muscle mass and provides you with regaining of energy.

- Fats are essential for your body. Essential fatty acids like Omega 3 or Fish Oils helps providing fuel to your heart and brain. From proteins and carbs you have provided your muscle with fuel but what about your heart and brain, they also need fuel. So here comes essential fats.
