I’m here to share with you some of my nutrition muscle building information designed specifically for the female body. You can take advantage of a lot of little things, so you can maximize your muscle building potential.

How often should I be eating?

You should be eating every 2-3hrs. Your meals should be smaller and easier to digest too. The reason for this is because your muscles don’t repair instantly. It is a continuous process that happens over a period of 48hrs after you lift weights. You need to give your body a continuous flow of nutrients to repair the muscle tissues. Also, eating these smaller meals more often will force your body into a higher state of metabolism, which will allow you to burn more calories and cut back the fat on your body.

How much water should I be drinking?

This is dependent on the person, but when you start trying to build muscle, you should be drinking more than usual. The best way to gauge whether you’re drinking too much is based on the color of your urine. Very light yellow would be optimal. If there is no yellow than you’re probably drinking too much.

How much sleep do I need?

You need to get your full 8hrs of sleep. There is just no way around this. Your body needs a good night sleep to do all the repairs that are required from weight lifting. You just need to do it. If you skip out on sleep it’s comparable to not eating or missing workouts. It’s very important to get the necessary sleep you need.
