work out tip of the day,
Eating.
never work out on a full stomach, it will confuse your body and you will not get the results like you should, you should have a glass of water and a spoon full of peanut butter about a half hour before working out. that is about as much as you want to have in your stomach, why peanut butter, protein.
after working out you need to eat something asap, if you wait more than half a hour after your work out to eat or have a protein shake you will not get good results. right after a work out your muscles are starved for nutrients, protein especially.
general eating,
to build muscle you need to take in enough calories to gain weight. if you take in just enough calories to maintain your current weight you are not going to gain any muscle. what you should eat, fruit, veggies, chicken, pasta, steak. food with a lot of carbrs and protein are great.
here are a few links to calculate gaining muscle, loosing weight and maintaining your current weight.

crazy fact. jay cuttler, professional body builder has to eat about 1,200.00 worth of food a week just to keep form loosing muscles. i cant imagine how many calories he takes in a day. even tho it is a massive amount he has no body fat, all of that food is being turned in to muscle and energy. i read that a few years ago and the guy is much bigger now, he probably eats a lot more now.
