Health and Fitness

If you just want to learn more about strength training and nutrition to build a better body then your first step is to figure out your “maintenance level” i.e, Health and fitness of your body

How you eat and move your body — is about empowerment; becoming the best version of yourself. Health and fitness should reduce your stress, build you up, and make your life better. It should show you the incredible things your body can do, and then leave you wanting to discover what else it is capable of.

NUTRITION IS MUST…

Nutrition is about eating well, simply.

·         Not dieting.

·         Not avoiding foods (because that leads to obsessive, disordered, and binge eating habits).

·         Not feeling guilty when you indulge in your favorite dessert (or pizza, or whatever you love).

Health and fitness is not about “earning your food” or punishing yourself for eating. It’s about moving your body in ways you enjoy — getting stronger, and becoming more awesome.

How to Build Muscle on a Vegetarian Diet

Protein is important for building muscle (and losing fat). But what do you do on a vegetarian diet?

A vegetarian diet is a common approach for most people looking to follow a healthier lifestyle. It can feel difficult to fill the gaps on a meatless diet, especially when it comes to protein, which is a key to building muscle and losing fat. Ok, you reflected on what you want and decided to follow a vegetarian lifestyle. But you’re also interested in building muscle (or making sure you don’t lose the muscle you’ve already earned). How do you do it?

Vegetarian Diet Muscle: Start with Calories

Your first step is to figure out your “maintenance level,” or the number of calories you must eat to keep your weight consistent.

If you’re losing weight,you can bump up calories. Add about 100 per day across a week — so, if you were eating 2000 calories per day last week, you’d bump up to 2100 calories per day this week.

If you find you’re gaining weight, do the opposite. Drop a hundred calories per day.

When you reach a number that keeps your weight consistent, then You’re at the maintenance level.But if your goal is to add muscle, you can’t just stop there. To gain muscle, you need to eat more calories than you burn.

How Much Protein, Fat, and Carbs Do Vegetarians Need?

Your protein intake will not actually be based on your total energy intake. Your target protein number should be based on how much lean body mass you have.You can eat more than that, but you don’t need to. The times when you might want to consume more protein would be if you are gaining weight too quickly because you are hungry all the time. Protein is pretty filling, and going above your bodyweight-based target may help you feel fuller longer.

You also have to live in the body you’re building every day. So create a rating scale for yourself, say, from 1 to 5. Each day, rate how you feel on the qualitative aspects of your life. These include:

• sleep
• energy
• hunger
• mood
• mental clarity
• workout quality or enjoyment
