It's important that you get enough calories to refuel and replenish your muscles.
, explained that both weight loss and muscle gain are so highly individual that it's best to consult with a registered dietitian and certified fitness professional to talk about your specific body and goals.
These experts cannot only help you determine how much you should eat, but also where you should get those calories."Muscles are comprised of water, protein, fat, and glycogen," Wong told POPSUGAR. When you work out, your muscle fibers break apart, and food is what puts them back together. If you want your muscles to come back bigger and stronger, Wong says protein is key.
Wong added that the recommendation is typically one gram of protein per pound of bodyweight."We start with a macronutrient distribution that includes 30 percent protein, assess regularly, and make adjustments based on the person," she said. To put that into perspective,"if [you] start with a hand-size portion of protein at each meal, coupled with a proper strength training plan, that should be a good starting point," Wong said.
