Fuel for Gain

If you think you can just lift heavy and chug down a protein shake to grow muscles, you're chasing a myth, bro. Building muscle takes more than just pumping iron. It's about structuring your meals like a pro.

First, you need protein. It's the building block, after all. Think lean meats, poultry, fish, eggs, and a sprinkle of plant-based stuff like beans. Aim for about 1 to 2 grams per pound of your body weight if you're serious about gains. ✝️ Check out 1 Corinthians 10:31: whether you eat or drink, do it all for God's glory...and for your gains!

Next, carbs. Yes, I said it. Carbs are not your enemy. Whole grains, sweet potatoes, fruits... They'll give you the energy to smash through those workouts. Think of it as giving your muscles high-octane fuel.

Then you got fats. Healthy ones. Avocados, nuts, oils. They help with hormone production...including testosterone, bro. 💪🏻 No fat means low test levels, and low test equals small gains.

Finally, veggies. They round out the meal, providing vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Keep your body balanced and ready to grow.

Balance and variety are key, dude. No skipping meals or binge eating. Treat your body like the temple it is—fuel it right, train hard, and pray even harder. Stay disciplined and on track, like St. Paul when he says in 1 Corinthians 9:27 to keep his body under control.

Hope this helps. God bless
