Stable and quality gain of muscle mass, on a monthly basis - training, nutrition and rest
Međimurski cekerThe daily nutrient intake and diet for a person looking to gain 1-2 pounds of muscle mass can vary depending on many factors, including activity level, metabolism, and genetics.
General guidelines for macronutrient intake (proteins, fats, carbohydrates)
Here are general guidelines for daily nutrient intake:
- Proteins: The recommended protein intake for a person who wants to gain muscle mass can range between 1.2-2.2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight. For a 90-kilogram person, that would be between 108 and 198 grams of protein per day.
- Fat: About 20-35% of total calories in the diet should come from fat. For a person consuming 2,000 calories per day, that would be between 44 and 78 grams of fat per day.
- Carbohydrates: The remaining 45-60% of calories should come from carbohydrates. In this case, for a person consuming 2000 calories per day, that would be between 225 and 300 grams of carbohydrates per day.
