Eating right

[auden]

Hi Fellas.
I wouldn't have thought it'd be so difficult to get good diet info from the net. Whilst some is very informative, it assumes that we all know the correct quantities of Proteins, carbs, fats etc. and the amount of each in different food.
Anyone know what I should be doing to gain muscle mass without fat? or where I can find out this info?

I'll assume your interest lies in bodybuilding nutrition. Here's a very well-detailed thread that will help you figure your basic requirements:

in addition to that, AUDEN, there are many fantastic books out there on BB nutrition....in spite of everything I have learned over the years, I continue to read new ones here and there to see different perspectives....

don't depend on the net alone: you still need to hold a real book in your hand and go through it....

And expanding on John's point, here is an excellent source:

"Girth Control," by Alan Aragon

Additionally, anything by Lyle McDonald would be essential reading as well.

make sure your consistantly taking in a surplus of food. remember your daily intake needs may change day to day. so adjust calories as needed. also nutrition around your workouts is very important and highly under rated.
i recomend a good meal 2 hrs prior to training
pre work out drink 1 hrs prior
intra i like BC+EAAs and nitrates
post whey and simple carb shake for after training.

I've found the amount of fat that you gain while eating above maintenance is more related to how you train than the specifics of your diet.

This has been my experience as well.

Stop thinking you can gain significant muscle mass without gaining some body fat. Workout hard and lift as heavy as you can and eat.

The only exception I can think of is if you are extremely skinny as the start.
