Be sure to include at least one source of protein in each and every meal to help with the formation of new muscle. Muscle cant growth with out protein so get eating.

Carbohydrates

Carbs are a primary source of energy for our bodies and get stored in the muscles as glycogen which allows us to do heavy lifting. When the body stores glycogen muscle size is increased.
