Although the basics of bodybuilding nutrition have been well known for decades, research continues to add to our knowledge, allowing participants to take advantage of the very latest thinking. At its core, bodybuilding nutrition is simple - eat enough calories to allow the muscles to grow.

However, a more scientific approach will ensure that you get the right combination of nutrients (carbs, protein and fat) and supplements to maximise growth. Properly applied, this information will make the difference between slow or limited progress and spectacular muscle growth.
