Jack Posted February 1, 2002 Share Posted February 1, 2002 Hello there, I have a question concerning gaining weight in muscle and what dietry intake exactly is needed I make sure I have a good protein intake, alongside a reasnoble amount of carbohydrates and water, but I have heard time to time that to gain weight you need to increase caloric intake so that you have excess calories. However, I would like to know how necessary lots of calories is, how important eating the most healthy sort of calory is, and if the excess calories will just convert to energy, if not used then fat. Help me out here? Ouss JackCurrently 'off' from formal MA trainingKarateForums.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
