It is very important, in hypertrophy, to eat an adequate diet. This is because we are talking about building muscle and this is not possible without the necessary nutrients. In order to gain mass it is very important to consume a little more calories than you spend, with quality and protein foods. Do you know that famous “sweet potato and chicken” combination? So, it is famous because it unites quality protein and carbohydrate.
The main component in a hypertrophy diet is, as everyone knows, protein. If you want to be a monster, it is essential that you eat plenty of red meat, chicken, eggs and supplements like whey protein.
Carbohydrates, in turn, are the primary source of energy in intense workouts, as they provide muscle glycogen. However, pay attention only to complex carbohydrates, such as sweet potatoes, manioc, yacon potatoes, brown rice, brown bread and others with a low glycemic index.
However, we cannot forget about lipids. Foods rich in good fats must be present in the diet, as these are necessary for the functioning of the body. But not just any fat is released, see? Add foods like olive oil, nuts and avocado to your diet as they contain good fat. And, of course, don't forget to supplement your diet with fruits, vegetables and other foods that have important vitamins and minerals to keep your body healthy.
