To gain weight, athletes need to consume more calories
than they use. This weight gain will include water, fat, and
protein in muscle. To limit the amount of fat gain and increase
muscle gains, athletes need to use effective exercise training
and nutrition programs.
A common misconception among athletes is that the best
way to build muscle or “bulk up” is to eat a high-protein
diet. Adequate protein intake is essential when you are
increasing muscle mass, but most of the energy needed to
fuel muscle growth comes from an adequate calorie intake
from carbohydrates and fats.
Weight gainer supplements are marketed to athletes with
claims that these supplements will aid in the gain of muscle
mass. Although these supplements may help increase daily
calorie and protein intake, they have no benefits over food
choices that provide the same amount of calories and protein.
